the gandi.net communities
Is there a published list of what modifications have been done to each of the standard Linux distributions.
On a basic install of CentOS the iptables firewall is configured to to start on boot and only allow access via port 22.
On the Gandi VMs it looks like the settings have been changed, iptables is not started on boot and the VM has no firewall running.
I only discovered this when I went to enable another port in the firewall.
Changing the default firewall settings to allow connections to something like the Gandi agent would make sense.
Disabling the firewall entirely would seem to be unusual and insecure choice to make.
Is there a list of what modifications have been done to each of the basic OS installs so that we can check and fix them if required.
