RE: Hardening CentOS

I'd begin by checking out the CentOS LAMP Hardening project.  It's not
complete but mostly talks about what security software is used to secure a
CentOS host.  Below is the link:

http://www.securecentos.com/security.html

Also, run nessus against it as it has a suite of CentOS plug-in in order to
check related vulnerabilities.

Hope this helps.

Helo,

Can anybody help me with some procedures to secure a CentOS server? I am
going to use it for receiving files over Internet with SFTP.

Thank you,

Florin
