Feedback!
July 20th, 2009 Posted in LinuxThere were loads of interesting comments and corrections about the security page on the CentOS wiki. I’ve made a few updates regarding some missing sections, and some minor corrections. What I’m interested in now are the other security pages that the community might want. I’d like to turn this into a full blown wiki section for security, detailing basic web server security, mail server security, ssh protection, and more. What would the community (or at least those of you who read this) want to see first from a network application standpoint?

Firewall and SELinux integration with specific roles.

I’m now near the end of a first run to make our Centos 5 systems PCI-DSS compliant. There are many questions on the net which stem from the very general and vage language used by the standard. From the answers I found so far the answer to many questions is “it depends” but it might still be useful to try to collect a corpus of “what others did about section X.Y.Z?”.

What sorts of specific roles did you have in mind? Even within certain roles such as a web severs there’s a huge variation in setups to get the job done. I do plan to do a basic set of security instructions for the default setup. Those rules can in most cases be applied to other environments.

Great work on the OS Protection page Jim, and I love the idea of widening the security section… but shouldn’t this conversation be taking place in the centos-docs mailing list?
