Install FreeBSD 6.2 with minimal distribution without ports collection*
*upon install process you must create an user (yourusername) with invite to wheel group so this user can su to root via ssh
Then after reboot do
#ee /etc/ssh/sshd_config
add the last line as follow
AllowUsers yourusername
#ee /etc/group
Check the first line have yourusername in wheel group, if not add it
wheel:root,yourusername
#cd /usr
#fetch
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
#tar xzf ports.tar.gz
#pkg_add -r perl
#rehash
Then download setup.sh and do setup
After completed setup I recomend to secured your server as follows
- config firewall
- update to dovecot
- update to apache2
- install mod_security
- install mod_evasive
- mount /tmp with noexec,nosuid
- install clamav
- config exim to scan email with clamav
- setup/enable spamassassin
- disable functions in php.ini
- gen SSL key for DA + use DA via SSL
Additional
- zend optimizer
- snmpd + mrtg
- chkrootkit / rkhunter
- bfd
Or if you have trouble, I do all above tasks after first reboot (fresh OS install with minimal distribution) or after fresh DA install at $69
