NSA guide to securing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

Hi,

There is a fantastic "Guide to the Secure Configuration
of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5" PDF available here:

http://www.nsa.gov/snac/downloads_redhat.cfm?Menu
ID=scg10.3.1.1

It looks like it would be an invaluable resource for
research for the
Fedora Admin Guide. Among many other things, it covers
IMAP/POP3, DNS,
Web, Samba, Proxies, LDAP etc.

Kind Regards,

Murray.

This is pretty comprehensive doc but mostly directed at
'best-practice'
from the security point of view. As such it would work the
best as an
add-on reading to admin guide.

BTW, how did the exam go?

+1  Definitely in the references and further reading
section.  I've
already heard Linux security experts call it a best-in-class
guide, and
it appears to be generic enough to apply to any Fedora-like
derivative.
Great for admins and writers of admin content  to learn
from.

Typically first-class work from the NSA as usual.
