What general security precautions should I take for my web servers running on UNIX and NT systems ?
In general, there are many precautions you should take. Say for example, you can limit the number of user accounts available on the machine. Try to ensure that users select good passwords. Remove all unused services, shells and interpreters. Configure your web servers correctly and ensure that the file permissions are granted to those authorised parties. Regularly check for system and Web logs for suspicious activity.
