RE: Linux Hardening

I spoofed the Name in the /etc/redhat-release to RH4.  Everything worked
fine.

That's pretty normal behavior, actually.  RHEL5 (32 and 64 bit) reports
this as well.
Bastille has been developed for older versions of RHEL.  A newer version
of the OS has been published/released, but Bastille hasn't yet been
updated.

Do make sure you've got a compatible version of Perl-Tk installed along
with bastille.

Below is the exact error that I got when I ran Bastille on FC7 and
RHEL5.

The tool is still being actively developed and supported. 3.09 is indeed
the latest verion (found here:
http://bastille-linux.sourceforge.net/index.html)
Can you give a little bit more info about how this isn't working on
later versions of Linux? (like an error message, etc)
