I was comfortable with the level of security I've had, but with the whole "open to the outside world" setup I'll have, what would you suggest for securing it? I'll be running: Apache PHP MySQL SSH/SFTP OpenRPG (only occasionally, from a special nonpriv account) Any suggestions, any of these that you know are such huge security holes that you would absolutely demand something else be run? Any other security suggestions? Thanks, -Jim
