[wplug] Fwd: The Register does Bastille (HP-UX style)

[redtoade]

There were some discussions here a few weeks ago
centered on Bastille, a perl hardening script.  Very

It sure beats doing iptables by hand.

Anyway, this appeared on their mailing list, and I
thought it might be of interest here too.
