Disable and uninstall any service you do not require on a machine.
If you want the machne to run mail/pop/imap/web, then there should be no ftp
server, no telnet daemon, no finger service, no daytime service, no
portmapper (rpc), no file sharing.....
You might want to leave sshd running on the system, though :)
