Is there a step by step approach to securing CentOS 4X (or even RHEL 4X)? I don't mean the stuff in the docs/security guide but a working step by step guide? There used to be packages like rkhunter and tripwire but I don't know if the ones in rpmforge/kbs repo are up to date. Thanks, Josh.

It seems only RHEL 5 it seems, but I presume a lot of stuff from it can be used for RHEL/C 4.

Personally, I install rkhunter from source, but you can build an RPM from the source tarball if you want (the source includes an RPM spec file). Latest version is 1.3.2.
