Redhat is very good about issuing free patches for known exploits. Be sensible about how you configure things, keep your installation up to date, and Redhat can be quite secure. The reason for getting one of the more expensive Redhat enterprise distributions is that Redhat says they will issue security updates for much longer for them. It can be disruptive to have to install a new OS version on a server that is running fine, but it is worse to not have security updates. You must keep any distribution up to date, and Redhat is a nice server distribution if you keep it up to date -kb P.S. For an MTA, you might want to use Postfix instead of Sendmail. Both are part of Redhat these days. Depending on you paranoia, you also might want to use something other than Bind for DNS, Maradns being a candidate. Maradns is not part of Redhat, but I know it runs well under Redhat 7.3. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
