Recently my desktop internet connection was closed by the department

Since I have been running SuSE for many years and never had virus problems
I was quite surprised. Anyway, in addition to the regular checks and tests
they perform in these cases, I was asked whether there exists a system tool
to verify the integrity of the system configuration. Basically they want to
double check that all what is currently installed on my system, excluding
my own applications, are regular SuSE updated packages rather than some
malicious program, rootkit, and so on ... Thank you in advance for your
help.

I've used Chkrootkit and rkhunter. I have had trouble in the past with
rkhunter not recognizing the SuSE install but there is now a release for
11.1.
Double checking the false positives is not a bad thing when there are only a
few.
What do you have running, automatic updates, ntp, RSS, mail can all access the
network automatically have you changed any configurations there? Have they
changed their tests?
