Some more things:

   The recently added aide is broken.  It's obviously copied from Debian and 
some needed parts don't exist (such as /var/lib/aide, /etc/default, tempfile 
command and others).  That's all very well except the script in /etc/cron.daily 
exists and fails.  Firstly it fails because it doesn't have execute permission 
and secondly it fails because programs and directories it references don't exist.

   The recently added awstats is also broken for a similar reason.  The script 
in cron.daily doesn't have execute permissions. I've not tried to run this but I 
notice various files with 1980 timestamps such as the aforementioned and 
/etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf.

Whilst these are minor irritants it does bother me that things are being added 
to the system without proper auditing.  This is supposed to be a secure system 
and addition of unverified software obviously gives an opportunity for malware 
to be unwittingly installed.
