[NTLUG:Discuss] Recommendation for "Log File Analysis" and firewall updater Software/system/program

[Ralph Green, Jr.]

Dave,
 I am a little behind on my NTLUG messages because the list has been so
busy lately.  If you are still looking for feedback on this, read on. If
not, just go to your next message.
  On systems that are publicly accessible, I would second one of Chris's
suggestions.  Disable authentication by password.  I  only use
public/private key authentication on publicly available servers.  That
is quite safe.  It does mean you can't connect from an arbitrary
machine.  You can only connect from a machine that has the private key
loaded.
  This does not answer the question you actually asked.  Why do you want
to analyze the logs?  I don't understand what you are trying to
accomplish there, so I can't comment.
Have a good day,
Ralph
