[H-GEN] security update mailing lists?

[Kelvin Heng]

Troy Piggins,

Maybe you like to take a look at some security checklist available on the 
web for Unix platform.
http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/usc20_full.html
http://www.infosyssec.net/infosyssec/unixsec1.htm
http://www.cisecurity.org/

But you need to be quite careful on what you have disabled so that you won't 
cause your machine to be "down"

Regards,
Kelvin Heng
