The current edition of Linux Format (October-2005) has a major article 
(10 pages) on system security. I picked up my copy today.

I haven't read it just yet, but I am sure that it will provide a keen 
insight into the matter of security on Linux systems in general.

The cover disk is a DVD with 4Gb of software packages including the 
software covered in the above article.
