Securing Fedora Core 2

[Chong Yu Meng]

Hi All,

I'm going to say up-front that I haven't done any reading, and I'm 
actually looking for something like a StepByStep solution to securing a 
FC2 web server.

I went through an IBM AIX Firewall course way back in 1997, but since 
then, I have lost touch with firewall configurations and the latest 
threats and defenses. I have recently inherited a web server running FC2 
that needs to be locked down, but not so tightly that it can no longer 
run web applications.

Does anyone have any useful hints, tips or links I could look at? And 
does Sasser affect web servers too? Is the built-in firewall in FC2 
iptables? What should I be protecting against?

Thanks in Advance !
