I have a some questions in helping to secure two freebsd servers I have. I am very new still to server administration and would be quite open to any tutorials that you can suggest. But anyway here is what I think I want to do. I have one server that is pretty much runs just apache/php/sendmail and another that runs mysql. On the database server I would like to refuse all requests for anything that does not come from its subnet. I thought there was a way to do this using /etc/hosts.deny but there doesn't seem to be that file on freeBSD. Even if there was I don't really know how to deny everything but a small set of ip's. I would also only like to allow the database server to send admin emails out and not allow anything to else to be sent or received, is there a way to do this? The web server i feel can be a lot more open but does anyone have some suggestions to help keep this from possible intrusions.
