Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2003-09-28 01:56:02 UTC

-Split the guide into many more chapters to remove multiple levels of sections and fixes related to that.
-Commented out TODO items and changes since last version to make the guide similar to other guides.

Fix for bug.

-Maybe the Securing services chapter should be divided into multiple chapters?

Patch looks good. If you feel that the chapter regarding the services should
be split, be my guest. However, I think that splitting it isn't easy as I
can currently see only a single split-possibility: making a chapter of each
section. And that would increase the number of chapters immensively.

Patch committed. Thanks for the good work!

Comment 3 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2003-09-30 02:50:46 UTC

Securing services could perhaps be split in the following chapters(sections):
-X (gdm,xdm)
-FTP(Pure-ftpd, Proftpd, Vsftpd)
-Apache
-Mail
-DNS(Bind, djbdns)
-Samba
-Chroot or virtual servers 

But OTOH the title Securing services fits well for the content and is needs
no work to keep.
