I don't know it this helps but O'Reilly publish a book, "Building
Secure Servers with Linux". The isbn is 0-596-00217-3. My edition dates
from 2002 and I found it useful. 

Of course I would also recommend that you learn as much as possible
about Linux and networking in general. Security is not a stand-alone
issue.
Just my $0.02 worth.

 regards,

John Kelly
