RE: Snort on RedHat x.x

["Ricardo Londono" <ricardo () gigxchange com>]

I'm running RH 7.2 with snort 1.8.2 and Demarc front end for a month now
with no problems!  I did find that for newbies "like myself" it helps to let
RH install Mysql and all the libraries and the perl DBI and DBD:mysql stuff.
Then manually install from source apache, snort, mod_ssl, etc...

hope this helps.

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
