Well, we certainly hope there aren't any security holes that aren't already addressed. The primary problems can come from lesser-used daemons such as the r-utilities which can be spoofed. These are enabled by default and most people don't need them. I would suggest picking up a book on security. There is a new edition of an Internet security handbook that O'Reilly has, I think it's called "Practical Internet Security" or somesuch. Also check out the comp.unix.security (?) newsgroup & FAQ, and CERT (http://www.cert.org). If you haven't already, pick up the UNIX System Administration Handbook by Evi Nemeth et al.; that has a small section on security too. Hope this helps.
