[newbie] ultimate security on Mandrake box

2001-09-14 Per discussione Joe Lareau

Hi-

I am trying to harden my Mandrake 8.0 box as much as possible. I would like
your thoughts on what tools should be installed, and in what order.

Specifically, I have heard I should install Bastille-Linux, ipchains, TCP
wrapperswhat else is there? Does it matter the order? Does there exist a
security checklist for Mandrake on how to harden the machine? This machine
will be a web server.


Thanks,
Joe

[newbie] installing Bastille

2001-09-13 Per discussione Joe Lareau

Hi-


I just successfully installed Mandrake 8.0 from CD, and now I want to
install  configure Bastille. Chapter 13 in the documentation (both online 
in the book that came with the CD) states: 

The BastilleChooser tool allows inexperienced users to easily secure their
machine...

Yet, the documentation does not state WHERE this tool is located...I have
not been able to find it on my box. Can someone please tell me how to get to
the Bastille Chooser tool.


Thanks,
Joe
