Hello all I'm in the process of installing the a cable modem... that mean my linux box will be on line more often and for longer period.. My first question is there any thing I can do to prevent unwanted access ... even I decide to have ftp an telnet enable (only the 2 services will be enable) The second question is is the a good program in the SuSE disto. with graphical interface if possible that monitor my connection an tell me for example is my computer have been scan or if some one try to force access (success or failure). and finaly Is there a way to move the /var/log/messages to somewhere else and or tell my linux box to log theses messages somewhere else. thanks for all help. Since the best way to prevent unwanted access if to be aware. ===== ,. \\|// - ?
