version agnostic system hardening tools

[Jude DaShiell]

bastille talks but curses at least doesn't track well for speech using 
speakup at least.  Also, bastille doesn't work on FC3 yet and that 
includes the beta version.  I've been searching the internet as a whole 
not just onfreshmeat.net.  I'll try an exclusive search and if I come up 
with any winners I'll share the wealth.  Does anyone have an idea what the 
valid objection is to handling system hardening using the philosophy that 
the package when produced for linux and maybe nix to be more general will 
install on all flavors and on all versions.  The package will detect what 
problems it can and offer to do what fixes it knows how to do.  Then the 
package will offer to check for updates and download and run those updates 
if those updates exist using the same philosophy.  I have been studying 
system hardening and have done much of what has been done on this system 
by hand, the only reason I'm interested in the system hardening packages 
is to find out if there's things I missed. and to be able to get those 
improvements done.
