Myself and another list member were conversing in email about writing
a hardening guide for Sol 10 for DMZ use, with perhaps some high-level
break-down of "what else" would be needed for at least 1 and 3 on that
list, and probably DNS servers and perhaps "app" servers (Tomcat) as
well.
Last I checked, you could find guides for hardening Sol <=9, but not 10.

Life's been intruding, so it hasn't taken off past discussions.  We
figured we could probably get it pub'd in SysAdmin Mag.
