Before this thread is pronounced dead, I must agree with Anthony Greene
on this matter. If you are doing a server install, you should really
know better - especially given the fact that you have most likely
already done a server install in the past and being familiar with the
redhat installation process. DO not take anything for granted. RTFM,
make backups (no matter what it takes), button down your server if this
is a production server (chances of you being hackered are much slimmer
when you keep up with the updates and patches on a routine basis), make
every effort to keep written documentation so you do not have to rely on
on-line manuals and How-To's you may not have an opportunity or be able
to get to in those situations. This demonstrates the importance of not
only relying on RedHat for exploit patches and updats, but also the
vendors of software such as DNS, Wu-FTP, SSH, etc. The vendors might
know a little bit more than RedHat does about their own software and
potential pitfalls and exploits.
The long and the short of it is...do not blame the vendor's installation
process for making assumptions for you when you really should have known
better. I feel for your loss, but "thems the breaks."
