Hi, it seems like you are using an old distribution of SuSE (current is 6.2). However, you should always be on the security announcement lists of your favorit operating systems and install security updates asap when they are announced. (check out http://www.suse.de/security) Now go and get the updates for your version ... On you question on how to secure a SuSE distribution it's simple if you've got a 5.3 - 6.1 : just get the harden_suse.pl script and run it on your machine. You can get it either from the 6.1 CD's, the package is called "secchk", or get it from the page http://www.suse.de/~marc If you use SuSE 6.2, you may try it, however there might be some stuff missing. But I'll update the script next week.
