This guide does the wrong things for the RHEL entries that I checked by modifying crypto-policies that are not meant to be edited. If you want stricter crypto, run: update-crypto-policies —set FUTURE      (or FIPS)


I have not checked the other OSes listed but based on the RHEL entries I would not recommend these hardening techniques.
