Just for grins, I ran Saint (formerly Satan) on my desktop (SuSE 6.1) with
my laptop connected (also SuSE 6.1).  My first experiences with the
Satan program was that it checked for the obvious....Saint has lived
up to my expectations by only finding items which I probably would
have guessed myself: finger daemon, NFS.  Lots of warnings....not
any critical issues.  I haven't done anything real special with
regards to tuning the security on my platforms (don't spread that
around).

You mileage may vary, Saint can be had at:

Chris
