[Luna] April 19th Meeting

[Shane Lofgren]

If everyone is interested in option #2 (How to secure a Linux box) I have
written a short check list that can be used as a follow-the-steps direction
to securing your Linux box.  It was written for the intention of someone
taking the handout home and following the steps and included commands. It is
by no means a definitive paper but covers most situations.
