After a standard install of debian, these packages still need installing. 

apt-get install vim mc iproute hal atsar sysstat systune snmpd ncftp postfix denyhosts nscd

Notes:

vim-tiny is installed by debian by default. This is horrible, and which is why we install vim first!

/etc/default/sysstat: turn ENABLED="true"

/etc/default/snmpd: get rid of 127.0.0.1 from SNMPDOPTS

vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: change the community names

nscd is only usefull for servers not running bind themselves

vi /etc/denyhosts.com

set PURGE_DENY = 1w and ADMIN_EMAIL = red@tripany.com and SMTP_FROM = Denyhosts $machinename <nobody@localhost>

Also, if a host keeps getting denied, you can stop it from going in the /etc/hosts.deny file by putting the IP address into a line in /var/lib/denyhosts/allowed-hosts

might need apt-get install resolvconf but I don't like it much
