For example, if you previously used APF+BFD you can remove the combination (which you will need to do if you have them installed otherwise they will conflict horribly): sh /etc/csf/remove_apf_bfd.sh That's it. You can then configure csf and lfd by editing the files directly in /etc/csf/* csf is preconfigured to work on a generic Linux server with the standard web server ports open. It also auto-configures your SSH port if it's non-standard on installation. You should ensure that kernel logging daemon (klogd) is enabled. Typically, VPS servers have this disabled and you should check /etc/init.d/syslog and make sure that any klogd lines are not commented out. If you change the file, remember to restart syslog. See the readme.txt file for more information. Uninstallation ============== Removing csf and lfd is even more simple: cd /etc/csf sh uninstall.sh
