This sendmail section is no big deal. It is just a warming that TLS is nor completely setup. I understand this is normal for FC2. You can safely ignore this one, the default configuration should be secure enough.

This one is for the SSHD (secure shell) like telnet. It is just saying that the deamon is already running. If this is a workstation or you don't need access just turn off this service. There have been several attacks lately on this port.

This section is the free disk space and useage. Monitor it closely to make sure you don't run out of space. Any big changes here usually mean someone is putting a very large file on the computer or something BIG is about to happen. I usually make sure that I have space in the /var partition, If I created a different one for that. Most temporary stuff like logfiles, spool files, etc. are under /var.

Just watch the logs for anything unusual. If you want to look at the raw logfiles you can start in /var/log and its sub-trees.
