What is an Appliance security lockdown script?
To ensure an appliance is secure it's recommended that a number of steps should be carried out, incorporated into a lockdown script which can be run at the console or via an SSH session. The script helps to lock down the password for the Web User Interface account, the password for the 'root' account, and which subnet / host is permitted to access. It also regenerates the SSH keys that are used to secure communicating between the master and slave appliance.
