    Stheg,

    I have used CIS tool on RedHat linux & found effective going through the
    report generated after running the tool.
    I am new to BSD not much used to BSD stuff but since the tool is same it
    should give good result. Let me also try the same on my FreeBSD box.

    I'll keep you updated.

    Regards,
     
    Milind

      I tried it some weeks ago on 5.3-RC1. It's a good tool to use as a
    checklist but don't use the score to rank your systems.

      It said a default install scored 5.88 and after fixing some things I
    increase it to 8.0 but it didn't tweaked the system too much because I
    hadn't much time. I'm going to play with it again next week.
