I've been getting this log watch from my server emailed to me on a daily basis. It gives me a list of all the authentification failures via SSH and other protocols. Should I be actively concerned that there's specific IP addresses consistantly trying to access my SSH account? Likewise, for any type of failed login. Should I actively block their IP address from accessing the server at all?
I've also noticed in the Connections group, there's a lot of monitoringservice.net connections -- is this normal?
Just want to make sure I'm taking an active effort on preventing my server being brought down. I mean, I have 2000+ SSHd authentication failures... seems really high.

I've been tasked with developing a default Logwatch configuration for a few dozen servers that will email their findings to a ticketing system. I was hoping to find insight here from users who are using Logwatch similarly. If you have Logwatch emailing a ticket system, I'd love to hear about your custom configs...

I logged into my email to check for my nightly logwatch report (at 12am). Nothing.
So I log into ssh and manually run it, get greeted with this:
You have old files in your logwatch tmpdir (/var/cache/logwatch): logwatch.zcTV3hC0 The directories listed above were most likely created by a logwatch run that failed to complete successfully. If so, you may delete these directories.
I last ran logwatch around 10:30pm, it worked fine.
I try to run logwatch again, same error.. except now there's another temp file showing beneath the first.
I go ahead and delete both of them, run logwatch again...it worked. I also got the other reports from when I tried running logwatch manually and was stopped with this error.
I've never had this happen before, so I'm curious as to what caused it? Logwatch is in cron.daily and has never missed a single report.
Just typical data corruption (as can happen with any computer file) or could something have interfered with its processing at 12?
My /var partition is getting full and most of the problem seems to be with the files in /var/cache/logwatch/ using up all the space. Can those be deleted?
I'm running out of disk space on /var and it seem /var/cache/logwatch has almost 4GB of space. Can I remove everything inside and uninstall logwatch? How do I remove logwatch from the system and any affect of the system functionality.
I have been receivig a huge logwatch report, seems that logwatch is not parsing the /var/log/secure file, but sending the log entries instead of any resume of it. I got thousands of lines like
Cp-Wrap: Pushing "47 GETDISKUSED pvargas lights.com.co" to '/usr/local/cpanel/bin/eximadmin' for UID: 47 : 25 Time(s) Cp-Wrap: Pushing "47 GETDISKUSED r.perez konecrans.com" to '/usr/local/cpanel/bin/eximadmin' for UID: 47 : 69 Time(s) Cp-Wrap: Pushing "47 GETDISKUSED r.rodriguez konecrans.com" to '/usr/local/cpanel/bin/eximadmin' for UID: 47 : 114 Time(s)
I have upgraded to the most recent version of Logwatch with default configuration. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Is this someone trying to gain access to the server and just trying different password or ways? The server is new with no websites hosted yet but already getting this.
Will Brute Force not take care of this?
Is this common? Any ideas?

Does anyone have a link to some Logwatch installation instructions. There nothing on the logwatch website and not manage to find anything on here or on google.
I jusy want to set it up and have it email me every day.
I used a little vServer with ubuntu (turnkey) and use logwatch to be informed by email about any errors. I'm confused about the following errors from Apache:

These errors are definetly not from my own code. I have checked that mod_proxy is disabled and i disabled also CONNECT like here described: [URL] ....
What does these errors mean and how can i disabled this?
I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?
I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.
with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
If you had to chose either Host Gator or Hawk Host which would you go with and why? Don't bring any other hosts into consideration just compare these two. This would be for a standard website, forum, and a few downloads if it makes a difference...nothing too fancy.
I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site. The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost) Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.
I will be setting up a site which uses ASP.NET 1.1. I know versions 3.0/3.5 are available, but they are not yet V2.0 compliant. Anyway thst is not the issue - just context.
Would like your advice as to whether it would be better to host this site with a company who looks as though they are specialising in ASP; such as DiscountASP, or Softsyhosting, or go with a general Windows hoster such as Steadfast, Fluidhosting, or 3Essentials?
I know nothing about ASP, so I don't know whether it is not at all neccessary to have a host specifically knowledgable about it, as I am unlikely to ever have problems with it, OR; I will most certainly have to address ASP issues sometime, so it would be essential to have support who really knows ASP.
I got the beta of vis studio 2005 about a month ago and happily started coding away. I recently told my host to convert to asp.net 2.0 so I could upload the stuff and have it work and he said he couldnt until the non beta comes out.
Is there anyone out there at the moment who will host asp.net 2.0?
