moin, moin, here's a piece on shoring up default RedHat installs a few people had asked about. http://home.pages.de/~lufthans/unix/docs/HOWTO/securing_RedHat.html It's really basic, but covers some of the important items. Haven't played with 7.1 yet. I'm told it's much better. I'll try to update this if I play with 7.1. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.YourCompanyHere.net ;-) # Science is magic explained. - der.hans
