I looked in my /var/log/messages and found the following lines (where I have removed any specific names and/or IP's). What are these lines telling me?
Feb 24 06:54:45 shroom syslogd 1.3-3#22: restart. Feb 24 13:34:21 shroom kernel: ICMP redirect from IP.IP.IP.IP Feb 24 13:34:21 shroom last message repeated 3 times Feb 24 13:34:21 shroom kernel: ICMP: cannot handle TOS redirects yet! Feb 24 13:34:21 shroom last message repeated 3 times Feb 24 13:35:38 shroom ftpd[895]: repeated login failures from some.machine.com Are there any well documented (i.e. usably documented) articles and/or books on securtiy in Linux. I have no idea what TCP wrappers (or whatever) are, but I hear talk of them... I would really love an easy-to-set-up "security utility" and readible security logs. I know, I know, I should go out and write something like this.... (Now, if I would just learn a language other that Fortran...)
