[Centos] Secure server install

[Beau Henderson]

Donavan, I think he was making a suggestion to the thread starter
regarding disabeling direct root login, not a complaint :) Not all of
us hate the direct root login, especially with a fresh install thats
half way around the world and you got a monkey installing the OS :) (
I've been there done that w/ freebsd ).
