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
