Install Tripwire to protect your files like your inetd.conf or
ssh_random_seed...

FWIW, I've found the running "chattr +i" on important files
goes a long way when it comes to your average script
kiddie.  An experienced cracker would probably figure it
out pretty quick, but, IMO, a script kiddie would probably
give up pretty quick and go on to an easier target.

My two pennies...
