Hello guys.
I've built a few toasters over the last year. I love the process, quick
and painless (at least till you need to modify spam settigns), anyway.
For the most part most people use a stock rpm based *nix and throw in
the toaster, which is what I do as well. the only software I add is a
small program called denyhosts. this thing is a real lifesaver. Before
using it I was getting upwards of 4000 break in attempts through ssh.
now I'm down to a handful a day. It's easy enough to install but maybe
you wanna think about including it? I know this will be just 1 more
thing to support, but it seems my mail servers get hit much harder on
ssh then my other servers. If not included maybe add it on the wiki, or
related product page. Just my 2 cents.

P.S. There are already rpm's of the package at:

I just change my ssh port. That stops most all of the breakin attempts.
Set the new port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the firewall
script /etc/sysconfig/iptables to match.
