I believe most distributions include those packages and securing the Linux box related HOWTO. > also worth a look: http://www.trusteddebian.org/ I once look at the system files, configurations and binaries in MandrakeSecure MNF and only to find out that the usual placement of those files are not "really" existing in their usual place. What Mandrake developers did was they have a series of Perl scripts and made several "templates" to "fake" the placement and behavior of the system. But I personally did not use it because I can't customize it and I personally didn't understand what they did with the distro. Also, it's hard to maintain the system because the RPM packages for that distro is different with the usual packages of Mandrake and it maybe hard to find updates specific for MNF. --- MARVIN T.
