Is there a FAQ describing how to set up a secure www site? (gopher, mosaic)
I just wrote up some HTML on the WWW site here, which is set up quite securely. It's available at http://www.chem.surrey.ac.uk/~ch11mh/secure.html It consists basically of "Get a cheap single purpose machine with a free OS, and disabled every subsystem you don't need (all but networking) then run all the security tools you can find on it and check it every day" I hope this is useful (a lot of questions regarding secure http servers seem to have come up recently). This does not address encrypting servers - I may do something on this later.
