Linux Hardening

I am looking for a good summary piece on hardening a LAMP installation
(Debian).

Can any of you suggest one?

I have looked at the following sites so far:

* http://www.linux-sec.net/Harden/howto.gwif.html has some interesting
links, like:

- http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/se...-debian-howto/

* http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/...WTO/index.html

And of course a lot more over at
http://www.google.co.za/search?q=linux+hardening+howto


Although they are all very good, I am looking for a LAMP specific
step-by-step, almost like the page
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/se...n-step.en.html

In most of the above links, the advice only focus on Linux and Apache
and MySQL is often neglected, which means you need to search for each of
those application hardening howto's individually.

I would appreciate any pointers/links/comments.

PS: A search of http://www.google.co.za/search?q=LAMP+hardening+howto
did not give back too much useful info.

Cheers

Nico

:) This was rather funny... I actually use mod_perl - luckily.
