| Hi peoples. I'm newish to the Linux world and trying to get my mind around
how Linux and RedHat work etc. Does anyone have any detailed sites on how to
install, secure, configure, modify, etc??
What is the best practise for securing a RedHat box for Internet use, eg.
Mail, DNS, Web, etc..
Any suggestions most welcome.
Regards,
Shane

Look in ./docs/HOWTO/ and ./docs/linux-doc-project/. You can also go to

Going to try to win the Tour de France before you get off the tricycle?
From those HOWTOs above, look at the ones relating to Security. Specifically,
155096 Jan 23 08:40 Security-HOWTO
287057 Jul 23 2002 Security-Quickstart-Redhat-HOWTO
In the Linux Documentation P{roject (tldp.org, or the
../docs/linux-doc-project/solrhe directory, you'll find an older book called
Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition that is worth a read, dated as it is.
It's actually an earlier edition of a dead tree version by the same name.

RH9 is somewhat old, and hasn't been supported by RH since April first.
You should get _ALL_ of the applicable errata from the Red Hat site, and
then look at download.fedoralegacy.org to see if they have any backported
fixes from the Fedora project.
