Hi,

Using the bastille scripts will ease your work in hardening your redhat linux:

Hope this helps. Regards.

I've used Bastille on HP-UX. That was perfection.,

When I tried it on my test Linux server, the only thing it couldn't handle was starting the named deamon with a non-root user.

This makes the named or DNS daemon harder to exploit, since you don't get root priviledge if you get exploited.

The other doc's are great. Nice posts gentlemen.
