Mandrake 8 includes some Bastille stuff. Chapter 13 of the users guide talks a little bit about Bastille, but doesn't include too much detail, as the chapter mostly covers the bastille GUI configuration tools: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fdoc.php3 The Mandrake 8 CDs include the following Bastille related RPMs: Bastille-1.2.0.rc3-0.1mdk.noarch.rpm Bastille-Chooser-1.2.0.rc3-0.1mdk.noarch.rpm Bastille-Curses-module-1.2.0.rc3-0.1mdk.noarch.rpm Bastille-Tk-module-1.2.0.rc3-0.1mdk.noarch.rpm Also required: perl-Curses-1.05-2mdk.i586.rpm perl-Tk-800.022-5mdk.i586.rpm The BastilleChooser and InteractiveBastille tools look pretty decent. However, as I haven't yet tried them out myself, that's about all I can really say... Joel --- Member of the GNU/X/Apache/Perl/Samba/OpenSSH/Linux generation.
