Perhaps an ntp daemon to keep your clock synchronized?

Well, a firewall set up using ShoreWall to control iptables.  
Don't ask me what settings, yet, except that the only open 
ports will be for SCP, SSH and Apache.

SSH & SCP will go through RSA encryption authentication.  
i.e., unless I put the public key onto the server a user 
isn't getting in.  So far there is only one person who needs 
access -- me.  It will probably stay that way.

I've probably overlooked something here, too, so suggestions 
are welcome.

SSL is in (I considered it, incorrectly, part of Apache).
No mail on this server.
Backup, ah, yes.  Better do that.  It has a CD burner, and the 
temptation is to use CD-RW for the sites.  The size is small 
enough.  Thanks.
Log tools, ditto the thanks.

Someone also mentioned DB.  I'll check with the creator of the 
other site that it will host.  None of the sites currently on 
it requre DB support.

Thanks again, all.  As a novice at servers I *knew* I'd left 
several things out.

SSL? Mail? Backup? Log analysis tools (ModLogAn, Webalizer)?

The firewall will be provided by iptables, with help administering from
Shorewall (I don't have time to learn iptables).
SSH will allow secure remote access for administration.
Apache will serve the web pages.
Anyone care to suggest what I've left out?
