IMHO, stripping down a system by removing unnecessary utilities, services,
and processes reduces the chances of leaving a hole open and is absolutely
essential for making a firewall "secure", but it does little towards making
the remaining services more secure.


What about stripping down the kernel and removing things of dubious nature?
