Tom's suggestion about monitoring your own logs is terrific. I use the
"updating tail" method for much of my work related stuff, but have not ever
seen it suggested here as a personal security precaution (shamefully, I
haven't thought of using it such myself either). It's great to have some
processes out there to give you a hand but there really is no substitute for
keeping an eye out for your own weaknesses. Thanx for the reminder, Tom!
