No, that's why you Just Say No to RedHat. As a RedHat Certified

authority:
RedHat has the strangest concept of security I've ever run across.
They close doors that should be open - sendmail refuses connections on
port 25 by default - and leave others wide open. Like running
[unconfigured] apache on every install.

b) When I
got back I discovered some little punk assed bitch had hacked
into my server and it had to be taken off the local network where it sits
for security reasons.
This sucks!!! Something you might want to consider is using OpenBSD for
your server. I've been using Linux for over 10 years now, and while I think
it's a pretty good desktop OS, and OK as a server, if I want a stable secure
server I'll use OpenBSD! Of course OpenBSD sucks in that it doesn't support
multiprocessor systems!
