Securing of systems....

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure if this is the right group to post to, so my apologies
if it is.

I was recently contacted by a ISP to build up some linux servers to act as
their game servers.  And that's sort of my problem.

Basically, these are going to be high profile machines (as far as gaming
machines go) and I'd like to secure them as best as possible.  I play with
linux on a personal scale, but have never deployed linux in a commercial
environment.

The question I'm asking is this:

Is there any document on the net that pertains to securing a linux box used
for commercial purposes?  I've had a look and I cannot see a document of any
use.  There are program specific (ipchains-HOWTO) but they give you the
indepth of it all..I'm sort of looking for a document that covers it at a
higher level.

These servers will be running multiple game servers from each unit.

Regards,
Snehal Dasari
