AFAIK the default Fedora setup is to install and run logwatch using
cron, every day at 4:02am.
There should be a file:
/etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
If it's there, and crontab contains an entry for cron.daily, then that
should be all the configuring it needs.

I have hundreds off ssh attacks every day. Just make sure you have a
*very* secure password (or don't forward ssh from the router).
I also use "denyhosts" which I've found extremely useful (it's in extras).
