Analyzing Foggy's New Server List

I sometimes don't read all the way thru... I installed SIM on my new CPANEL
before I realized that CPANEL has this function built in. So I want to know  
if any of you more seasoned CPANEL vets can help figure what on this list also applys to CPANEL:


Server Security
Webppliance 3.1.x and Webppliance PRO 3.5.x compatible; All packages are recommended

#APF Firewall Modular IPTables Firewall
#ChkRootKit Scans for Root Kits
#Hide Server & Apache Info Hides Version info from scans
#Disable Direct Root Login And force SSH protocol 2

#Disable Telnet Telnet is insecure, use SSH only.
#LibSafe Summary & Setup
#Change All Passwords

Admin:

/usr/bin/passwd  
(set new password)  


Root:

su -  
/usr/bin/passwd  
(set new password)

Service Updates
Webppliance 3.1.x and Webppliance PRO 3.5.x compatible
