Hi, a minor point this time (in my "RedHat security drive"), but
/usr/local/bin appears before /bin,/usr/bin, etc. in my path.
Whereas I certainly don't, some sites allow people to install their own
binaries/other stuff under /usr/local. This might open up trojan
possibilities.
Chris.
PS If any people at redhat are interested, I can compile a list of
redhat-4.0 security points I have noted since installing it. All the ones
I have put to the list have tended to meet with favour.
