Rharvey, You might check this source http://www.bastille-linux.org/ their site says the below, but I don't know if it refers to the 1.1.x bastille . This new version will, according to the site, work on "non-virgin" machine. Previously it had to be installed RIGHT after Linux was installed.You can download it there. "Does Bastille work under Mandrake? Bastille is confirmed to work under Mandrake 6.0 and 6.1, though it has trouble with the Apache-specific items. For now, don't ask Bastille to make any security modifications to Apache (web server) and you'll have no problems at all." ------------------------------------------------- Also , try this website http://www.sans.org/newlook/home.htm while there, click on Bookstore under publications, then click to review the guide. They have "Securing Linux: step by step " which was reviewed in one of the linux mags and seemed to be a nice step-by-step guide which you asked about. Jim Pendley
