Security on Networked Copier

Group;

I'm new to selling this product and need some help. The new Sharp copiers
come with a Linux O/S running an embedded web browser and mail server, as
well as file retention. Short of bringing in hy Red Hat box, how do I try
and test the security on this system. I'd like to see if I can take over
the O/S thru the web browser or do a SMTP gateway control. I have a windows
machine on the network and the environment is a W2000 server network.

TNX in advance for any suggestions.

Doug

Look into nessus, the security scanner. It will do a good job of
alerting you to possible vulnerabilities.

When I run NMap Win and check my W2003 server I see nessusd running on port
3001. Why is this do you think?
