SANS makes a lot of useful information available for free to the community. One of their more interesting projects recently, IMHO, has been the development of a one-page "cheat sheet" for administrators to help them look for strange behavior on a system that might indicate a break-in or other security issue.
The Linux cheat sheet is available from the following URL: http://www.sans.org/score/checklists/ID_Linux.pdf Yes, there's also one for Windows 2000 and XP if you're into that kind of thing: http://www.sans.org/score/checklists/ID_Windows.pdf You might want to try following the steps in the cheat sheets on your machines every month or so. You never know what might turn up...
