Hi, just wondering if Suse has any sort of regular system checks akin to the periodic scripts that FreeBSD runs every day/week/month to report on the general health & security of the system?
Periodic does some general cleaning up and emails report to root the file system status (a df basically), any alterations to system files (including a diff of changes to system config files), mail system status, a monthly summary of login accounting and any warnings that appear in the messages log file as well as various other stuff. It also lists any installed ports or packages that have security alerts. After many years of using FreeBSD, I've come to rely on these reports to keep me informed about my system.
So now I'm using Suse (trying to get familiar with it before changing my Netware servers at work over to OES on Suse) and I've tried googling for info about this, but haven't found anything useful as yet.
The seccheck package contains such things for instance. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
