Hi, I am currently setting up one of our development servers with SuSE 7.0. Since the installation of a "normal" workstation system is pretty much straight forward I believe that there are a lot of things more to be configured to have secure development server. Hopefully someone on the list can point me to the right direction. The server will be used for web development and therefore needs to have the following services/applications: # initial setup HTTP MYSQL SSH POSTFIX CVS (CVSPSERVER) current idea is to connect to cvs via ssh which might be the better idea XServer KDE2 # later IBM WEBSPHERE IBM DB2 I first started to read Marc's article abpout setting up a secure webserver [ http://www.suse.de/en/linux/webserver/index.html ] I think using harden_suse might invoke problems using XServer and any Windowmanager. Anyway due to demands from our Websphere guy he wants to be able to access the Websphere GUI remotely. So my main question seems to be "How to use an XServer remotely and still have a 'secure' box?" Thanks for your help, Andreas -- Andreas Otto OgilvyInteractive | Floor 2, Canberra House 315 - 317 Regent Street | London W1B 2HS Reception +44 207 299 3434 | Fax +44 207 631 5050 http://www.ogilvy.com
