Good Morning / Afternoon, We run several of our own servers: - Dell Power Edge 1U, Pentium, - FreeBSD (6.x soon to be 7.x) - along with all the standard Web Application installation (PHP Apache Exim, Pop3, Proftp, MySQL etc etc). What I am asking here, is if any one in this community has the knowledge to act as a security consultant in an occasional, as required basis. Anyone interested should have expience with Apache, PHP, Perl on the FreeBSD platform.

No experience with FreeBSD and probably not enough with Perl - but whoever you hire, make sure they suggest your php build is hardened by suhosin - both the core php patch and the loadable module.

Hi Again all, I am not sure what to make of all the chatter on this post .... To date, I have not recieved any sincere replies, which is a bit suprising. I am thinking that this job would be easy money for someone who already knows the ins and outs of php/Apache from a secuirty standpoint. I already have sohosin patch applied (it is applied as part of the default FreeBSD - php port). Anyways, the offer is still out there if anyone is interested. -Grant
