Securing *nix

I'm currently running unreal on a debian box (sarge) and i'm looking to allow the other server admin shell access to the IRCD to assist with remote administration.

I'm looking for tips/tricks on how to secure the box so that the remote shell user does not have access to anything else. I've learned the basics of the *nix OS, I use pretty much a bash shell and local webmin access to manage the server.

There are several multi-thousand page books written on the topic. I doubt anyone will be able to do the issue justice on these forums. Try googling for "securing linux" and the like.

If you *really* want a secure system, I'd suggest you take a look at SELinux (produced by the NSA). It has some really nice MAC features.
