Hello. Lots of sysadmin experience here. I have completed quite a similar project recently for a Swiss medical company. Those changes that you suggested are mostly fine but there are many others to go with as well and I can definitely expand the subject for you. That would include modifying network stack and many others, also service specific when required. I do solid work and I can document it well. Please see my profile for some references. Ready to proceed anytime. Thank you.

For the past 15 years I have worked as a Network and Systems admin for ISPs and Telcos using UNIX, Linux, and other vendor specific gear like Cisco and Juniper. I am certified in top-class security and systems admin certifications: CCNP (Security), CISSP, Certified Ethical Hacker, LPIC (for Linux), plus other network certifications. Besides just securing what you've requested, I will throw in an additional penetration test process just to prove that what I implemented works, and identify other loopholes which we can fix.
