> What are some common post install commands I should know about? - initialize your MTA: exim, postfix, or (shudder) sendmail - initialize your SVN/GIT repositories - ldconfig (my boot scripts run it every time--it's cheap) - mandb (& cron.weekly) - updatedb (ditto) - update security certificates (monthly?) - strip symbols again, unless you're into running the debugger - "internal" firewall, certainly. Your router firewall will allow almost anything. Don't forget about outbound as well as inbound--you don't want to let ET phone home! I have strong opinions about having a very tight "internal" firewall on every system--if something nails one box on your LAN, you don't need to have everything else wide-open to everything! - nmap, along those same lines.
