Turn on ntpd and start it.

# chkconfig ntpd on
# service ntpd start

Lock the guest account.

# usermod -L guest

Add /boot/uboot as an entry in fstab.  The entry should look like this:

LABEL="uboot"           /boot/uboot             vfat    defaults,noauto 0 0

You also will want to update the / entry in fstab to mount the filesystem ext4 since that's what we formatted it as (mounting as ext3 is perfectly valid but will use none of the ext4 capabilities or features).  That line will now look like:

LABEL="rootfs"            /                       ext4    defaults        1 1

Additional items you might want to address:

1. Change the root password
2. Add swap (create lvol, mkswap, and enable it)
3. Install openssh-clients for ssh support
4. Change the hostname (/etc/sysconfig/network) 
5. Set the timezone (it's currently in EST)

Well, that should be enough to get started.
