Aaron, It would be used only occasionally, but I'm thinking anonymous mode would work because there would be nothing stored permanently there and in a chroot jail access is limited. > Short term, you might want to set up CMSMS, Apache and MySQL on a separate > box or VM, with a new OS install, just for practice and to get up and > running. I run Slackware. I bought a Jetway atom-based system (physically tiny) for this purpose but have struggled with whare to put it and the time to keep everything secure. Most likely, once it's up and running I can put away the second monitor and keyboard and manage it from my main server/workstation. I'll put Slackware-13.37/64-bit on the drive. Then I'll need to dig back into the network docs so I can put that box on a separate subnet and still access it from the other subnet.
