    Need help with basic security. Easy stuff!

    Hi everybody, I've got a text-only site that I want secured as best as possible. Not like I'm expecting hacks or anything, but I just don't know if I've covered all the basic bases.

    My host provider gives us cpanel x to use.

    Anyways, do I have to worry about the default file permission settings in the file manager?

    As for everything else:

    Misdirected emails get dumped into :blackhole:
    Spamassassin is enabled
    Anonymous ftp is disabled

    I created a subdomain ftp (ftp.mysitesname . com) and forward it to index.html. I did this because otherwise, it shows "welcome to my page" powered by apache

    Directory listing is disabled
    The folder cgi-bin is not password protected. Should it be?

    Should I do anything else to secure this site? Thanks a lot!
