[cobalt-users] Anyone using Bastille Linux 1.1.1 on Cobalt products?

["Joseph Backo" <jfb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been looking at some tools to harden the security of machines that come
in - so that they can be deployed quicker than the 1 or more days it usually
takes me.  I stumbled across Bastille at http://www.securityfocus.com/

It seems great, but I was wondering if anyone tried it out here.  I'm
concerned about possible breakage of the UI and any other issues that might
have popped up.  BTW, here's the write up from security focus:

Bastille Linux aims to be the most comprehensive, flexible, and educational
Security Hardening Program for Red Hat Linux 6.0/6.1. Virtually every task
it performs is optional, providing immense flexibility. It educates the
installing admin regarding the topic at hand before asking any question. The
interactive nature allows the program to be more thorough when securing,
while the educational component produces an admin who is less likely to
compromise the increased security. Small bugfixes to allow the script to be
re-run without breaking previous changes. Readdition of AutomatedBastille
and a small bugfix.

Thanks in advance...
