Yes, this seems to be a good article.

I would add that although it mentions rootkits, it didn't seem to
mention actually running a rootkit checker. If someone has gotten into a
server via SSH (or indeed by any other method) and installed a rootkit,
then discovering that fact would be nice :-) I run both chkrootkit and
rkhunter via cron (google will show where the home pages for these are).
