I don't know exactly what you mean by "wizard", maybe a
menu-driven gui like Nero or M$ Lookout or something?  Anyhoo I
really like this checklist here:
http://sddi.net/FBSDSecCheckList.html.  I guess one could script
a lot of this.  This page also has a boatload of links at the
bottom.

As for perfect security I like to run Sendmail and BIND on
RedHat myself, unless I can get my hands on an IIS box.  woot! 
Sorry, it's late Saturday, thus I'm feeling mischievous.
