Hello all,

I thought I'd share a really kewl program with all of you that
I first tried out a few months ago.  It's a program called
Bastille Linux (http://bastille-linux.sourceforge.net/) and
helps you to secure your Red Hat 6.0 box.  The reason I 
am posting this is that if you are setting up your first
Red Hat server I think one of the most difficult things is
securing it.  The idea of trying to secure a server can
be overwhelming.  What is good about Bastille linux is
it gives you a really good start.  This is because as you
run the program it explains what it is doing step by step.
After running the program you will have a much better 
understanding of some of the major security concerns.  I think
this is a program we will all be seeing a lot of as it 
improves and is developed to work w/ more distros.  Hopefully
I'll have time this week to write a full review of this 'ware
for the linuxchix.org site.  

btw: If you enjoyed this post and found it helpful please let
me know.  I have found a lot of neat software in my
"quest for the secure box" that I'd be happy to write reviews 
and or shorts posts like this for the techtalk list.

Enjoy,
Melissa
