I've read a couple docs on how to secure my machine.  I just installed 4.4 
stable.  I turned off pretty much everything except for ftp(users only, no 
anon) and ssh.  I am a little familiar with redhat and remember editing my 
hosts.deny file so that it locked out everyone except for my home and work 
machines.  I think that I need to edit the /etc/rc.firewall file.  Is this a 
good idea to deny everyone except for a few users and how would I do that?

I'm running 4.4 stable.  Is that good enough or should I get the 4.5 
release?

Do I need to upgrade/update any files or do anything else to secure the 
machine?  If so, could you send me a good link or give me some help please?

Thankyou in advance,
Jason
