The reason I thought, that those settings in /etc/conf.d is due
to a warning of the rkhunter tool:

[03:23:21] Performing system configuration file checks
[03:23:21] Info: Starting test name 'system_configs'
[03:23:21]   Checking for SSH configuration file             [ Found ]

           The default value may be 'yes', to allow root access.

[03:23:21] Warning: The SSH configuration option 'Protocol' has not been set.
           The default value may be '2,1', to allow the use of protocol version 1.

[03:23:22] Info: The syslog daemon is not running, but a metalog daemon has been found.
[03:23:22]   Checking for syslog configuration file          [ Not found ]

Now I see, that it seems to check simply the wrong file.

I think it would be an idea to patch rkhunter to be more compliant to
the setup of the gentoo system ?!
From own experience I know that a lot false warnings of such tools
dull the sigth on to the real threads...

Only my two cents, your currency may vary... ;)
