Cool, thanks for all the responses. I'm still in the process of hardening 
the machine. I think I've got most services disabled, but I'm going to run 
bastille in it to make sure I have things locked down a little more. I'm 
having some kind of installation problem with bastille finding some perl 
line it's looking for. I need to check out their website. I'm rambling. 
Thanks for the responses. I'll let ch'all know how it goes.
