Topic: secure server internally

[darren]

Is there any way to protect the server data if it is stolen i.e disable lilo (esmith single) boot
and is there any other way to get in.

you can stop someone from booting it up with a LILO password,
but that doesn't stop someone from putting the hard drive in
another machine and mounting it on the new host computer.

The only way that I know of to secure data against
physical theft is a crypto filesystem.  

On my laptop, my important files go into a crypto fs.

I use cfs.  It isn't an e-smith answer, but
"apt-get install cfs" did the trick for me on my laptop.  Then
I looked in /usr/share/doc/cfs/README, and thee was a pointer
to http://www.cryptography.org

A big fat chain and a big padlock is a good idea too !!
