Dear all,

i Just finished setting up an apache service on a centos 5.2 VM machine.

i need to secure this machine as i'm soon to be setting a public IP over it 
where i'd be opening up the following services:


1. http
2. https
3. ssh


Things i've done so far:

1. stopped root ssh access in sshd.conf
2. tried configuring PAM so i get a more secure ssh passwords (dictionary wise) 
as well as tried setting up a 2 times authentication failure for the account to 
be disabled for 12 hours (i couldnl't succeed in setting this up)
3. disabled port forwarding (to deny outsiders to tunnel through the server 
inside my network) couldn't succeed with this either.


Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated..

thanks,

--Roland
