I've never seen such a list, but I have seen a discussion on recommended
packages. Check out http://securityportal.com. Back in July, 2000, they had
a 2-part series entitled "Why do vendors ship us junk they wouldn't use?".
Among the discussions included wu-ftpd, telnet, sendmail, named, and inn.
A lot of it is personal choice. Some of the packages are certainly personal
choice - you can run sendmail and wu-ftpd security but you MUST be current on
patches - and some are just bad security decisions in some situations
(like telnet).
