Debian Standard Packages to install afterwards
After a standard install of debian, these packages still need installing.
apt-get install vim apt-get install mc apt-get install iproute apt-get install hal apt-get install atsar apt-get install sysstat apt-get install systune apt-get install snmpd apt-get install ncftp apt-get install postfix apt-get install denyhosts apt-get install nscd
Notes:
vim-tiny is installed by debian by default. This is horrible, and which is why we install vim first!
/etc/default/sysstat: turn ENABLED="true"
/etc/default/snmpd: get rid of 127.0.0.1 from SNMPDOPTS
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: change the community names
nscd is only usefull for servers not running bind themselves
vi /etc/denyhosts.com
set PURGE_DENY = 1w and ADMIN_EMAIL = red@tripany.com
might need apt-get install resolvconf but I don't like it much
