couple of general tips worth employing if you use phpbb

- increase security by adding .htacess password protection to the
admin directory. You can also do this to modcp in the root directory
- remove the bit of code in any templates used that displays the
version in the footer (this is how script kiddies often find out of
date installs to deface)
