And how if any. yes for bind you need to rewrite the initscript slightly (see archives where i think i have posted a patch) and setup a chroot environment for bind, running bind as non-root is not enough you should also chroot it. there is a howto that explains most of these steps, but also check the archives i explain that too. as for sendmail all you need to do is remove it and replace it with a secure MTA such as postfix. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
