Neat set of baseline tips. When you get a bit more advanced, it’s worth having a look at the NSA security guide for linux It’s designed for RHEL, but a lot of the suggestions in there fit any linux distribution.

Erek, thanks for the link. I saw that they also had recommendations for Solaris 8 and 9 but none for 10 which I find a bit strange. But you are right, a lot of the recommendations are generic.
