I may be late with this, but I saw an article which might be of some help,
which pointed to a few sites of interest...

http://www.nessus.org - SATAN type tool with GTK interface, and
substantial commentary on reccommendations

http://www.nswc.navy.mil/ISSEC/CID - A program called SHADOW - something
to do with networks :)

http://www.cs.vu.nl/~gerco/SecureRPC - securing NFS

Hope they're of some help - and for any French speakers out there, let me
take the opportunity to reccomment GNU Linux & Hurd Magazine France again
- great magazine. You can get a subscription at
http://www.linuxmag-france.org

Cheers,
Dave.
