This morning I discovered that my web-server was the subject of a brute force style attack. I only discovered this when I randomly checked my /var/log/auth.log file and saw the incoming requests. Has anyone got any advice on which log files I should be reading on my Apache web-server? along with this is it worth emailing myself the logs to read at my leisure and if so what are the easiest methods for doing this?
I am looking at running a java application server on my debian linux webserver, and am looking for a breakdown of the advantages that using either app server would provide me with (or disadvantages). I am using apache 2 as my webserver and have no problem using a non-free appserver if it will provide a better environment in which to work. This will be used for a reasonably simple set of applications.
I use my OS X machine to administer a couple of servers and like to keep open terminal.app to do this. I have my profile so i get a few tabs open as i open the terminal.app, is it possible to assign to each tab a different theme and different starting command so that i can automatically SSH to each of the boxes as i run terminal.app?
