I was trolling thru FreshMeat, and noticed a new update for Bastille, the very thorough hardening script for RedHat/Mandrake Linux systems. I used to run Redhat, and then Mandrake, so I checked it out. The release info on the new alpha 1.1.0pre1 says that most of the Redhat specific stuff, like file locations, has been changed to variables instead, so it should be easier to modify/extend for other Linux systems besides RedHat. Then I started getting excited. Please don't take this as a slight towards harden_suse, as I think it is outstanding that SuSE includes it and the other security packages, which have probably kept me out of more trouble than I know ;)! But my overall impression of Bastille is that it is a little more polished, and I especially like the explanations given for each section/question. Now for the flame-bait question -- Would it be possible to merge harden_suse w/ Bastille, using the new variables in the latest release of Bastille, to set up SuSE systems, including setting the FW_* options in the config file? Thanks for your time and effort, Monte __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! http://photos.yahoo.com
