Before I make any moves though, I would like some advice. If i do a 'chmod o-r' on the log files will the logging programs be able to write to them? I am running TCPwrapper by the way. Do you have any better suggestions? Perhaps do a 'chmod o-x /var/log' ?? If there is a section in a FAQ or something I could use please aim me in that direction. I need some indepth advice on logging and such. Thanks in advance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- David Marcoux dmarcoux@raptor.business.swt.edu http://raptor.business.swt.edu/~trap -----------------------------------------------------------------------
