System administrators need to secure their systems while avoiding locking them down so strictly that they become useless. Bastille is a software tool that eases the process of hardening a Linux system, giving you the choice of what to lock down and what not to, depending on your security requirements.
I remember using Bastille a couple of times but after using it I changed many of the changes back to what it was before. Do you use Bastille every time you install a new OS? It sure does help with improving security but does it hurt usability to much for desktop user's to run?
Bastille is a set of Perl scripts that run as an interactive program, asking questions for each step of the hardening process. The scripts explain each step well, enabling you to understand what security measures will be introduced by any changes you make and why. Bastille can also optionally save your choice of options to a file for remote deployment to other machines.
