U of T campus network security

[Igor Denisov]

Hi,

Soon, I'll be a student at U of T and my linux box will be part of the
U of T network.

I'm worried about both crackers and the script kiddie haxxorz that
might lurk there.

For those of you that have worked/studied/used a computer at U of T,
are either of those two types present? Are computers broken
into/messed around with?

What would you suggest I do to secure my linux box (currently SUSE 9.3 Pro)?
Currently, it has little besides a firewall and an virus scanner (BitDefender).

I've considered repatrtitioning and separating /, /var, /tmp, /usr,
and /home and chrooting each service running on my box.

Thanks in advance,

Igor
