Uninstall setroubleshoot-server Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The SETroubleshoot service notifies desktop users of SELinux denials. The service provides information around configuration errors, unauthorized intrusions, and other potential errors. The setroubleshoot-server package can be removed with the following command: 

$ sudo zypper remove setroubleshoot-server

Rationale

The SETroubleshoot service is an unnecessary daemon to have running on a server.
