I have 'Linux Security Toolkit' another good security book (With CD 
rom), but as I can vouch the weakest link still is the chair/keyboard 
interface. I also have the CERN 'Unix Security checklist' and a few 
documents from SUN on the subject. Those interested should read the LDP 
Linux Network administrators guide too.

There is much to be said about Firewalls, however there are many attacks 
and threats that a firewall is totally useless to prevent, Security is 
one of my interests BTW

You do take regular backups ? Don't you ?
