=====Secure Server Build=====

====Boot Security====
Ensure root is the owner of **/etc/grub.conf** then

  chmod 700 grub.conf
  
This makes root the only person who can rw to it.

====Boot password====
This should be set up at install time

====Interactive Booting====
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/init. Add or correct the setting:
  PROMPT=no
  
While editing this file also turn off graphical boot
  GRAPHICAL=no
  
====Disable Core Dumps====
To disable core dumps for all users, add or correct the following line in /etc/security/limits.conf

<nowiki>  *</nowiki> hard core 0

In addition, to ensure that core dumps can never be made by setuid programs, edit /etc/sysctl.conf and
add or correct the line:
  fs.suid_dumpable = 0
