Hi,
I've written two docs regarding Linux security that I think can help
few system administrators in there work:
- How to secure a Linux server (RH)
- Authentication and authorization using Kerberos & LDAP with Active Directory for Linux & Solaris

Enjoy.

I had a quick flip though and think these a valuable docs. I downloaded the first pdf for later reading.
well done and thanks for sharing with the community!!

cheers

Sounds interesting; I'll probably be taking a look at them later when I have time. Thank you already. I'm glad some people take the time to do things like this..I would myself, if I had time.

Did a quickscan of "How to secure your new linux installation". Looks good.

Found some things that could be added though. I disagree the partitioning scheme is a definitive one, this depends on the task the server has to perform (also point out problems with single vs multitask boxen as in basket, eggs). Maybe show more examples (firewall, database server, syslog server)? (Mount flags?) Then the installation process skips to runlevel and detecting open ports. IMHO the next stage (before installation reboot) should be protecting the asset by either making services stop until configured or raising the firewall to only allow your management IP (range).

There's more (restrictions, auditing, backups), maybe I'll add some remakrs later on. Before I forget: you could point out there's more (in depth) docs, have a look at links here (not meant in an intimidating way, OK).

In any case well done, and I hope you'll expand your docs. Maybe submit them as LQ Answer?
