It also depends on which service you are running on the server. It depends on what you are running.... etc....

What tips does everyone have on hardening a CenOS Server that is running web, e-mail, ssh, ftp, mysql, coldfusion and will be processing payments from www?
I was out of town and I just read your post. I would strongly suggest that you download the free manual about hardening RHEL 5, in .pdf form, from nsa.gov As I recall, they do *NOT* recommend running more than one service on a server, if possible. Among many other recommendations. Search for "Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5", Revision 2, December 20, 2007.
