Even if governments legislate against it, spammers' ability to adapt makes it difficult to prevent unwanted messages completely. Over the past year companies have begun to introduce anti-spam products based on Bayesian filters. A Bayesian filter evaluates the content of a message and gives it a score that determines whether it makes it to your inbox or not.

The information in log files provides statistics for checking security and network access, insight into system performance and failures, and a measure of your system's behavior and baseline. All Unix implementations provide logging functions, and some logs need to be explicitly turned on to work. As a general rule you should enable detailed logging and if possible use a central loghost. That is, while still running local logs it is important to have all messages mirrored to a central location. You should keep not only system logs, but if you are running important network applications, logs for those applications as well.
