Why should I be concerned about any of these?:
Found warnings: [19:33:46] WARNING, found: /etc/.java (directory)
Because it shouldn't be there and SUSE didn't ship anything that would put it there. So something else did.
[19:33:49] Warning: root login possible. Change for your safety the 'PermitRootLogin'
Letting root ssh into a system is inviting trouble if a problem is found with OpenSSH. It could leave you open to an attack that could wipe the system.
[19:33:49] Warning: SSH version 1 possible allowed!
Tons of exploits found for SSH1 and it should be disabled. SUSE doesn't enable this by default on install so something enabled SSH1 protocol. -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
