Snort on RedHat x.x

["Madziarczyk, Jonathan" <than () cityofevanston org>]

Sorry for the OT

I'm about to set up a Snort box in one of my DMZs using Redhat 7.2 (I'm more
comfortable with it than with FBSD).
I've noticed a lot of gripes about how RedHat breaks stuff and how you have
to disable a lot of stuff to get it secure.  So my question is:

1) What are you having to disable to feel secure?  I understand the basics
(telnet, ftp, samba) is there other stuff?

2) I notice a lot of users running RH 6.2 on their Snort box, is there valid
argument for not going with the latest stable build?

Thanks in advance for any useful advice.  ;-)

Peace,
JonM
