 Hi guys!.

 I want to use puppet to automate initial linux hardening and to
 maintain a security configuration standard.

 Does any one knows if there are modules going around that take care of
 the usual hardening steps?.

 If not, i will work on them and share them.


 I started this modeled on the CIS Linux Security guidelines.

 It's not complete but covers a selection of the controls.  You're welcome
 to fork/hack on it.  Patches welcome etc.

This raises an interesting question. I had been doing something similar
recently, and I had implemented the hardening within the specific puppet
modules that they were related to. However, you've written a totally
separate module. Which is better?

I was specifically trying to provide an example of a module to apply a 
particular standard.  I don't it makes much difference which approach 
you take. Although if you break the hardening into classes though you 
can make exceptions to which nodes they are applied.
