Security Basics: RE: Linux auditing checklist, documents

["Simmons, James" <jsimmons () eds com>]

DISA came out with a listing of Security Technical Implementation Guides
(Stigs) that are used as a baseline for all DoD systems.  Everything
from Web Servers, *nix, Windows, even go into Databases, and VoIP.  Good
place to start, and if you do some digging you will see they have a
checklist, and some scripts if you wish to run them.

I am Linux System Administrator at a telecom provider. Our customer
inform us to send soon independent security auditors to have a look at
our Linux systems. They will have a root password and make an in deep
analysis of the systems.

I wish to prepare. What "commands" and "config files" they will look?
Are there Linux Security Guidelines? They wont use automated tools.
