One other item you can add to your defenses (although not as important IMO 
as what was mentioned above) is to add an IDS to your system (such as 
Snort) www.snort.org. If your new to Snort or just want some more ideas, 
theres some recent Snort books released.

And just like keeping your system patached, you need to keep your IDS 
patched as well.
