After giving it a quick glance I found it to be fairly useful, and at times rather elementary, in terms of establishing “best practices” for network security. I’m not sure if CSU Chico has a similar document, but this might serve as a good template to work from in terms of format and content. A lot of the information in here is pretty common sense; things most system administrators should be doing. The section on firewalls seemed like a pretty good reference as well, although I have no doubt that the NOPs guys already have the firewalls configured in an intelligent manner.

Update
The Information Security Office does have a Server Security Procedures and Guidelines document on their website. However, I found the NSA guide has more practical information and examples on how to configure systems.
