I put a simple hardening guide for RHEL5 here a while back: http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/hardening-rhel5.pdf It covers disabling IPv6 among other things. -Steve _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
