I ran bastille on a raq3, it make a few nice changes, stopping anyone but
root using cron, stopping a few non-essential services, runing named in a
chroot environ etc,

Bastille, especially the firewall script is designed really for home users
in my opinion, and i found it to be a little bit of a pain when it comes to
boxes running actuall services.  If you know what the questions the script
mean then you are probably in a good position to run it, i dont recommend it
for anyone thinking of installing it on anything other than a home box if
you're a newbie.
