I would think, however, that this sort of topic, and additional security measures, could and should be covered in a more comprehensive security guide. As Rahul mentioned, there is a Hardening Tutorial in CVS. Maybe you should offer to participate with the author to bring this document up to snuff. As I recall, no editor has yet stepped up to work on it. Stuart has started some security material on the wiki as well. Instead of having several efforts floating around in various forms, maybe the three of you (Stuart, Felipe, and Charles Heselton, author of the hardening tutorial) can put your heads *together* and work on something more comprehensive! Three heads are better than one, and all that...
I would like to add my few cents but sincerely, I don't know where to start, or what to do. I have a few recommendations, in form of firewall rules and sysctl tunable parameters.
The instructions on getting the relevant docs from cvs and more details on getting started is available from the project pages http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/
The docs team is also working on a stage area to build such docs automatically on a regular basis in the near future. You can also use the wiki for drafts http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing
If you need edit group access, register in the wiki and let me know your username offlist.
