Quoting Eric Kahklen
Does SuSE have anything similar to the FreeBSD's periodic daily cron job that does systems checks such as some basic security that is mailed to the root alias? I just attended a training on FreeBSD and wondered if this was something SuSE is doing as well.
I recommend installing Logwatch and Tripwire. I don't think Logwatch is in the base SuSE distro, but Tripwire is. Logwatch is something that runs every night and notes interesting log entries, while tripwire will let you know if anyone has been monkeying with your files.
