i just setup aide, the IDS, like this -

in a root shell run this -
# aide --init

that will create the databse.

then move that new database and make it the default database -
cd /var/lib/aide/
 mv aide.db.new aide.db

the rules governing what and how things are checked are kept here -
/etc/aide.conf

to re-run and check for any changes run this from a root shell -
# aide --check -V2

i installed rkhunter too. i got these warnings after i updated it -

 Check: SSH
   Searching for sshd_config... 
   Found /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Watch out Root login possible. Possible risk!...
 [ Warning (SSH v1 allowed) ]

this is how i fixed it -

# gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
then changed this line -
#   Protocol 2,1
to this -
#   Protocol 2

and i changed  -
#   PermitRootLogin yes
 to 
PermitRootLogin no

i'd already disabled sshd in yast though.

NOTE MAKE SURE TO EDIT THIS FILE - /etc/ssh/sshd_config and not this one - /etc/ssh/ssh_config (sshd, not ssh) first time round that's what i did and only noticed when i still got the same warning when i re-ran rkhunter.

this is how to make the whole sentece hilight when your nick is mentioned in irssi -

/hilight -line nickname

you might need to run this too -

/toggle hilight_nick_matches

earlier today my theme manager tried to use a cursor theme for an icon theme i fixed it by running these commands -

gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme

gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme

gconftool-2 --unset /apps/metacity/general/theme

i wanted to put it here incase i ever need it again.
