Security aspects to Joomla 1.5

[pg10000]

Can anyone offer advice about how to improve security for Joomla 1.5?

Some of these aspects elsewhere, but here are a few suggestions:

1. do not use admin as a username for superadmin user. make it more complex, add a few lowercase and uppercase letters and a few numbers - make it unique
- you can easily change the username using php myadmin

2. turn magic quotes on (modify .htaccess file by adding one line of code)

3. use a secure password (at least 8 chars, random lower case / upper case letters and numbers, not used on any other site)
