Check out the current setup on your machine. It should already be pretty close...
In SuSe Linux (I'm not 100% sure though), you should find documentation somewhere like /usr/share/doc... Logs typically go to places on the /var filesystem, like the /var/logs/ directory.
And custom packages commonly go on the /opt filesystem. None of this is set in stone, but it does make migration easier if everything is in standardized places.

NAME

       Foreign - Logs contact attempts from unknown systems

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign

DESCRIPTION

       The  /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign  file lists access attempts by unknown systems.  The /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown shell script appends an
       entry to the Foreign file each time a remote computer that is not listed in the local /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file  attempts  to  communicate
       with that local system.

       Someone	with  superuser  authority  can  customize  entries  in  the  Foreign  file  to  fit the needs of a specific site by modifying the
       remote.unknown shell script.

EXAMPLES

       The following is a sample entry in the Foreign file:

       Wed Sep 20 20:38:22 CDT 1989: call from the system merlin

       System merlin, which is not listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, attempted to log in on September 20 at 10:38 p.m., but the uucp  pro-
       gram did not allow the unknown system to log in.

FILES

       Describes  access  permissions  for remote systems Describes accessible remote systems Records contacts from unknown systems in the Foreign
       file Contains the Foreign file and other uucp administrative files
