    I'm doing a Linux installation for one of our bigger clients tomorrow, a
    publicly traded company. I've done quite a few Linux installs before, but am
    fairly new to Suse, and have never been particularly methodical about hardening
    the server.

    Does anyone have a good checklist available that I can use? This install will
    be a network install from the boot CD of v9.1, the server's sole purpose (at
    first) will be as a mail server, but it is likely that they will want it to do
    more down the line. We will be using postfix, there will be very few users but
    a very high volume of incoming mail. I plan on installing the basic web server
    stuff in addition to postfix.

    Thanks

    Rob
