Hi Paul: Here is an official TSS link to various HOWTOs which I believe address various aspects of your query; look under the category listed as HTTP, FTP, and NFS:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/ Regarding building "bullet proof" security there are a variety of products out there addressing various needs. Out of the variety of products available only a few provide true open source versions of their products which are not evaluation versions (which fail after a certain period). Each product follows a particular approach, strategy or philosophy; in my view a product which can be flexible to one's own changing environment and modified accordingly is an available open source tool which deserves to be tried. Of course, should one approach the need for a level of service beyond the open source product -- then one will have collected sufficient experience to expect better facilities and options from the commercial version. The available open source security system which I have used within YDL is known as Open Source Tripwire (OST). It is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripwire/ A comparison of features between open source tripwire and the commercial versions of tripwire is available here: http://www.tripwire.com/products/enterprise/ost/ At tripwire's website there's a rather nice security technical reference located here: http://www.tripwire.com/resources/tech_library/rec_reading.cfm I'm sure the same list of recommended texts can be acquired from Barnes & Nobles or Amazon.com at competitive prices. Their work in security stands on it's own and their contribution regarding open source is significant and generous in my view -- OST is a serious tool when implemented properly. As OST works within the YDL environment upon compiling from source should you realize that the commercial versions are more useful to you then contacting the tripwire tech/sales department regarding a commercial version which runs within YDL would be the next step to explore. I've not had the need to use the commercial versions of tripwire and so can make no comment regarding it other than to refer you to tripwire's website. Here's an official TSS comment on commercial and open source applications in general: http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/faq/redhat.shtml Best wishes...
