Well the first thing I always do when i install any OS on a new box is
update or remove the services that need updating or you don't need at
all. Then that takes away the problem of the remote attackers coming
from outside. What you should do while you securing the box is put ALL :
ALL in hosts.deny and don't let any users on it until you think its
secure as possible. There are also a lot of www sites out there that go
through steps on explaining what you need to secure it. Also along with
this mailing list subscribe to bugtraq to get the latest security holes.
