Hi,

 >>  i'm also interested with mod_security too anyone implemented this 
in centos 4?

Yes. Get the source from modsecurity.com and follow the install 
instructions.
You will not need a package as installing is so simple.

It is as easy as one command: apxs -cia mod_security.c

This will install in the apache modules directory.
Then all you need to to add the configuration file.

It's all in the install docs.

Mod_security rocks!

Cheers,
Rudi.
