Additional software?
Just considering some extra’s, depending on the load they put on Diana.
CIFS (AKA Samba) FT 3.0 is just out. I have to consult the installation guides to see what the requirements are, it might be useful to install it. I just hope it takes less resources than Advanced Server. If so, it might be a nice addition – for testing at least. I have downloaded it, just in case.
ClaMav must be checked as well, to protect the innocent (or stupid ;)) it could be a nice addition to PC security. Not that it’s really needed, because most junk is blocked by PMAS for several reasons – being originated from a black-listed domain, mostly.
Logging and access
I found an older version of TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG with a higher version number than is current based on date. No wonder I couldn’t see anything. This file has been deleted so now I can see who’s trying to force his way in.
I changed a number of passwords, just in case, because I’ve seen suspicious traffic in the weblog: attempting to login into the admin pages of the blog. No harm done, I guess it all failed. Weird: it’s the main server log that showed it, because PHPhad an error – again.
What goes on behind the doors of the (private) data center
