Thanks for all the help!  I'll try to implement some of these things
to make my system more secure.  There are far too many people trying
to penetrate my box these days.  I'll definitely remove those unused
services and update some of my daemons.  I really need to pay attention
to all this as we are going to be getting two more Linux systems
for our lab this month for some scientific calculations.

Thanks,  ;)
