In addition to bastille and cruft, that you mentioned in your previous
e-mail, you can also try to use tiger as a very good package for
checking security.
Just run it and it will spend, say, 15 minutes on your system trying to
find things that could be a problem from a security point of view. All
is neatly commented in a log file.
Hope this helps, Rogério Brito.
