I meant "/etc/security/msec/init.sh custom", which runs the custom.sh.
If you choose a security leael from the GUI tool, that will undo your
custom settings, but if you set it, and run custom afterwards, you will
have your custom settings.
As for the find, those are the "Do you want me to check for xxx files?"
questions, which you have to answer no to if you don't want those checks
to run constantly. Does anacron and crond conflict or can I have both
running? I don't know.. all I notice is that these finds seem to run way
to often (more than once a day).

No, I meant your first guess. msec doesn't do any firewall things, but
it would be great if it did in a future version. I have been looking for
a firewall setup tool that is easy to use. If I do it by hand I always
end up blocking too much.
