security

[Joseph Norton]

All this talk about security brings up an interesting question.  Are there
things one can look for to tell his system is being hacked or that
attempts are being made.  I have looked in /var/log/messages and
/var/log/syslog, but, I'm really not sure what to look for.  I remember
seeing the word "victim" somewhere in a cert advisory (I think), but, I
assume if I see this word, my system has definitely been compromised.
