OT-LOGS: RESOLVED (RE: hack attempt on my server...What do you do about this?)

[John Dangler]

Alexander~
Thank you for the reply. There's a wealth of information in those two files!
I'll definitely make it a point to track them often.

btw - I hope I separated this correctly.  I didn't want this to confuse the
main topic.

/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure

Both logfiles are inspected by the daily logwatch run, so at least you
will be alarmed by the daily logwatch mail, if not constantly running a
"tail -f /var/log/messages" in a terminal window to see what's going on.
