Bastille linux and Red Hat equivalent to YDL

[Steven J. Norton]

I'm not sure if this is the right list to post this question, but here goes:

I'm building my own web server with YDL 3.01 (on an old beige G3), and I'm
very interested in securing the server as much as possible. Among the many
other resources I've come across, one useful one is Bastille -- which is
essentially a set of perl scripts that walks you through securing your
system. Earlier versions of Bastille were labeled architecture-independent
(*.noarch.*), but more recent ones are specific to i386 (and the RPMs just
won't work).

Now, since Bastille is mainly just perl scripts, and it is very focused on
Red Hat (and since YDL is Red Hat-based), I thought I might be able to use
it anyway. I got the "source" tarball, which included an install script that
installed the various pieces necessary. I got as far as being able to run
the interactive program (InteractiveBastille), when it gave me an error
about specifying an OS. The list it provided included many versions of Red
Hat, among others.

Questions:
1) Is there a version of RH Linux that corresponds to YDL 3?
2) If I tell it I have some version of Red Hat, will this work?
3) Bastille's documentation also says that its graphical interface requires
perl-Tk, but I haven't been able to find a ppc version of that. Is it
perhaps rolled into more recent perl releases? Ditto perl-Curses for a
command line interface.
4) Is this hopeless, or is it worth trying?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
