ELS script, CentOS 5 and /tmp hardening




Posted by CiscoMike, 11-27-2007, 02:21 AM
Soooooo, been doing a lot of reading and from the looks of things, while the ELS script looks pretty sexy on paper, it appears that the hardening of the /tmp and /shm is fairly problematic on CentOS 5 systems. Apparently the entire process is mucking up /etc/fstab and yes, I know, I'm being 100% lazy by using a script...so sue me. Wanted to see if anyone had any success or complete disaster stories running ELS on a CentOS 5, preferrably 64-bit, system in the past few months and would be willing to share their experience. There's more than just the filesystem hardening in it and I'm looking for some of the other aspects but that seems to be the reoccuring nightmare scenario people are having. For those wondering what ELS is, here's a good (and bad) discussion about it on the DirectAdmin forums. I'm sure there's others but this is where my search started. http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17070 Thanks

I've also had problems when it upgrades apf. It messes the apf.conf file up.
