a security related article on securityportal today.
A little bit on the whiny side IMHO, sure small things could be better but RedHat is worse.
You should always go through inetd.conf and what standalone-servers is running and switch everything you do not need of before putting any can out on the internet.
I do not understand how xntpd is safer than the time service in inetd either.

Just got a call, looks like I will get some pressure to leave my quiet life in sysadm. It could be time to fire up c-mode in emacs again and start hacking in telecom and wireless. We'll see tomorrow.
