I thought that Bastille is dead and wanted to confirm that. Still, are
there any alternatives worth mentioning? I do not look for a 'magic script'
but for a tool which could ease at least partially the securing process. Of
course as always puppet or similar tool can be used and I think that I will
go in that direction.
Monitoring/selinux/firewalling are standard things and I am using them.
I already gathered some resources, I am mostly using info from
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection
https://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/redhat/rhel5-guide-i731.pdf
and checking Nessus currently ;) It looks very promising...
