There's no such thing as security. You can do stuff that will make you less vulnerable and minimize your chances of being compromised, but you can't ever be 100% safe ANYWAYS. Better tweak a couple of things than being wide open IMO.
I've replied enough why what he wrote is bad. Go google "how to secure a server" and you'll find even more great advices then what he outlined. That however, will serve you a big fat 0 in the real world when it comes to security.
