ParanoiaUser,

Thieves always love open doors open windows and open roof. in servers if you install many applications/service it will also OPENS a lots of PORTS(which hackers love). although your server is secure in terms of patches, security tweaks, best security practice, the open ports / application /service will give way to hackers messing your server.

close the services you dont need and only open the thing you need.

Lots of users installing all sorts of tools and net apps can help. I recall seeing "rsh host-from-email -l id_from_email csh" on TV (* in .rhosts).
