Dan: After you get the server running properly again, you might go to this URL: <http://www.nsa.gov> and search for "Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Revision 2 December 20, 2007" it's a .pdf file you can download. They also have a 2 page pamphlet, which gives you an overview of how to harden your CentOS 5 server. HTH, Lanny
