Bastille is working fine on my CentOS servers. Can you elaborate more on the problem?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have always used Bastille to harden our CentOS 4.x installations, however we now have some CentOS 5.x installations and Bastille won't work even though we have tried to make it work.<br />
<br />
What have you successfully used that works well for hardening the CentOS 5.x installations (we have PHP covered, don't need that).<br />

Harden centos 5.1 operating system, but Bastille doesn't work with 5.x... can't use it. Need something else.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
