Re: Securing Fedora Core 4

Hello AragonX,
I will add these steps to the list:
- Only allow ssh V.2
- Deny root ssh logins
- Allow only ssh login with pub/priv keys and secure your priv key on
a encrypted filesystem on a USB key
-Turn off all unneeded services
- Remove all unneeded binaries
- If you need to access the server from outside your privatenet use
ipsec, openvpn or something related.
- If data integrity is of interest use a journalized filesystem for
both metadata AND data (by default ext3 put only metadata in the
journal), LVM and RAID5 and pay attention to SMART

It's what I think at the moment. Some of these steps seems really
obvious but peoples tend to forget obvious things sometime.
Take care,

Dodoche
