i am not a security expert. but you will mostly restrict services (the stuff
listed in /etc/services). fool around with /etc/hosts.allow (and deny(,.
iptables. using ssh instead of telenet. encrypted port forwarding. get the
latest apps and paches. build your own kernal if you are really
paranoid.etc.
