All,
I had recently moved to SuSE with the 7.1 distro and was going to harden my box via the hardsuse package, but a little investigation revealed that hardsuse hasn't been included in the SuSE distro since 7.0.
I got the most recent version of the harden_suse.pl script (harden_suse-3.5.pl) from Marc's SuSE homepage (http://www.suse.de/~marc/) but was wondering why it is no longer included in the SuSE Professional distro. Is no longer going to be supported by SuSE? Is something else taking it's place (a SuSE version of Bastille Linux)? For anyone with experience using both hardsuse and Bastille Linux, which do you prefer?
Thanks...
-Mansel
harden_suse will continue to be supported, it's just that the package did
not make it into the distribution for the 7.1 release in time. This
package needs extensive testing for that one can make sure that it does
what it promises. In such a case I find it better to have an old package
removed from the CDs.
Thanks,
Roman.
