Hello all,

I have FC4T2 installed on Dual AMD Opteron box and so
far so good :) With each update, more bugs seem to be
squashed. 

FC4 includes a firewall and SELinux configuration
tool. Can firestarter be the default tool for firewall
configuration. It has more features and easy to
configure. Why reinvent the wheel? I welcome comments
from other testers ..

Also, can FC4 be made secure by default? Couple of
things  I can think off on the top off my head,

* Enable pam_wheel module (users in wheel group can be
su)
* Enable auto-logout after x minutes?
* Disallow root login from X which can be reenabled at
Login Screen?
* Disallow remote root login (currently enabled in
sshd_conf)
* Enforce strict password policy (length, complexity
etc..)
....
....

I'm sure there several other configuration to make it
secure by default. 

Josh
