Congratulations!
Personally, I like Psionic Logcheck and Psionic PortSentry for
auto-monitoring your logs and your ports.
The March issue of SysAdmin Magazine had a GREAT article on setting up both
of these. (That's VOl 10, Number 3) Unfortunately, the article isn't on
their website. Let me know if you can't find it locally, and I can send you
a PDF of the article.
The April issue of Linux Journal had an article on hardining LInux via
Bastille, and even included a bit of advice on getting it to work "right" on
SuSE.
For my firewall, I slightly altered David Ranch's TrinityOS "firewall"
script. See http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/index-linux.html for
more info on the "original." Last updated on 9 Mar 2001
Also, I personally recommend getting "logrotate" installed, too. With it,
you can automatically rotate your logs every day/week/month as well as
filter them through other scripts, gzip them, mail them to somebody and keep
different numbers of "back" copies, if you want. (e.g. messages for a week,
firewall log for a month, etc...)

Hello all!
I just got a ADSL connection to run on my home box and that's cool...:-) I wonder if someone can give me a hint about what kind of protection I should put up when using this kind of connection (I'm not that used to networks).
Cheers,
