Linux

Hi,

I have just setup linux on fedora 6 and would like to understand any further configurations - we have our standard build procedures however wan to know if there is anything else required for good practice:

we have setup:

selinux switched off due to causing confilicts with apps
running http, ssh and ftp
configured ntp
configured DNS
user setup
group setup
host file setup for our env
update software and drivers

what else should I consider?

Thanks

The answers may vary depending on what you will do on this box.
What you have installed is a good set for a start, here is my example :
One of the machines that I'm working with recently was in need of TCl/TK/Expect/python, so I had to install them.
I would add java if this is going to be a developer's machine; consider installing rootkit hunter, if the machine will be available in DMZ.

in addition to the rootkit consider using a very tight iptable rules ...

great - thanks
