    Hello List,

    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in hardening a Red Hat ES
    box to run Oracle.

    I have hardened Red Hat boxes in the past with little or no problems, but
    I'm a little concerned that there may be some hidden traps when dealing with
    Oracle (required services etc).

    If anyone has any advice or could point me in the direction of some
    documentation I would really appreciate it.

    Many thanks,
    Craig.
