        Well, SecurityFocus.com (ironically enough) posted a couple such
articles a while back:

http://www.securityfocus.com/focus/linux/articles/linux-securing.html
http://www.securityfocus.com/focus/linux/articles/linux-securing2.html

        There's also the Linux Security HOWTO:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Security-HOWTO.html

        There's also LinuxSecurity.com's Quick Reference card, which is
useful, even though it's an annoying PDF file (or two):
