When I was setting up my first FreeBSD server I spent a lot of time trying to find info on how to config the server security wise, I was a little freaked out over what needed done in order to "secure" my server. But I didnt give up, after I while I found a great article on littlewhitedog.com called "How To Install a Secure BSD System".
I must be honest I was getting really sick of google by the time I had found it, but any way I started to read the article and I realized this IS what I needed! A nice article on what I needed to do which only expected you to have very basic (if any) knowledge of *nix.
At the start it is just general stuff about securing BSD and then it moves on more specific stuff about setting up a mail server, the mail server bit wasnt useful for me. But the rest defiantly was. It included stuff from closing ports that dont really need to be open to doing a full OS update (cvsup make buildworld etc) and making a custom kernel - something I wasnt going to do because google had really put me off.
Anyway I wont be pasting the whole text, mainly to stop the next guy quoting my whole post! So here is the link

It is in three parts, links to the next parts can be found at the bottom of the page :D

Lwd - How To Install A Secure Bsd System Something i used a few months ago#3 Guest_relax_*Posted 18 November 2004 - 12:13 AM
It is mostly geared at FreeBSD so you would need to know abit about other BSD distros before you could use the link that well? I haventused any other BSD distros so i am not sure how much use that article would be to you sorry :) give it a read and see what happens
