Understood. I meant CentOS-based, but I suppose the "best" way is to just roll something myself.
I was hoping to find a nice list HOWTO or script that someone else was using so I wouldn't have to think through everything from scratch.
Thanks.
There are some guides around, for example:

However security is not a one size fits all solution that can be applied off the shelf. You need to assess where *your* risks are and what you should do to minimize them.
Hope that helps.
