My web log analyser says it needs NCSA logs. Is this what Apache produces ? I can't find out if it does or not.
Asked in: Ubuntu-Linux-Servers  (2 answers)
twosongs's response: Ahh, I see. Thank you very much for the advice.
Can I use Telnet over an SSH tunnel ? The destination device only supports telnet unfortunately. How else could I secure the actual traffic ? TCP wrappers are just allowing some IPs already.
Asked in: Ubuntu-Linux-Servers  (2 answers)
twosongs's response: I couldn't find a Telnet client which supported the "-x" option unfortunately. Are they common ? Would most servers support it ?
Have I covered the ways to secure PHP all below ? Any missing. disable_functions = exec, shell_exec, passthru, system, eval, show_source, proc_open, popen, parse_ini_file, dl Thanks for your help.
Asked in: OtherProgramming  (4 answers)
twosongs's response: There is some information here: http://php.net/disable-functions I'm not sure of how many to add though. Any one else ?
Is there any easy way in Linux to do this ? At the moment I just use: telnet IP 80 to test it. Can it be automated ?

twosongs's response: Thanks !
I've used Logwatch but don't like some its features and customising it can be tiresome. I will offer 50 points on top of the 50 best answer points for some suggestions for alternatives for log monitoring. I just want syslog etc sent with concise daily e-mail reporting please.

twosongs's response: Thanks, they at least give me some choice. Points to you.
Can someone please help me with a regex in Bash ? I need to match an IP address ? Thank you.
Asked in: ShellScripts  (4 answers)
twosongs's response: Thank you to both for your answers, both were good. I just chose the first reply as the best answer.
I've been looking at the Suhosin PHP module to keep my LAMP build a bit safer here: http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin Will it have a performance hit ? I think leaving it at default settings (after hardening PHP.INI) is recommended. Am I right ?

twosongs's response: That's massively helpful, thanks.
I'm confused about frame and CRC errors. Is there a good site that explains ? Thank you.

On Ubuntu should I write my own init.d scripts to make fairly simple changes like loading something up or use rc.local ?
Asked in: Ubuntu-Linux-Servers  (2 answers)
twosongs's response: It is just running a script to check if a file exists so I'll use @reboot in crontab, I think. Thanks
Why doesn't this work ? I'm sure that it's right !! $first=$(awk '{print $1}' $single);
Asked in: ShellScripts  (4 answers)
twosongs's response: No, you were right :) Thanks. I had just started the variable with a dollar and didn't need to have one.

twosongs's response: Ahh, yes, the dollar sign on $first ! Doh :)
