I'm sure we know some... :-) But maybe you have some ideas that will help us to make our job better.
1) find something to replace harden_suse that at least I know it will do the job 2) Update the Secure webserver Howto ( it ha not been updated for such a long time mentioning SuSE 6.4 (and 7.1) which is discontinued ages ago I'll place my sock next to the fireplace who knows maybe Santa Claus visits me also :-) Ich Wünsche Alles ein schönes neu Jahr Wish you all a happy new year ps. : If my German sucks sorry its only been 3 months I have been in germany and started tak,ing lessons like a month ago ) -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net Please don't CC me.
