[users@httpd] Access log worries

Mike Dewhirst <miked@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Sun, 17 Apr 2005 17:51:18 +1000

My installation of Apache2 was purely to serve a subversion repository. 

It is running behind my DSL router using NAT. I opened port 80 and it 

all works fine.

A big thanks to both Apache and Subversion developers who might be 

listening.

My worry is that after opening port 80 I am getting some weird access 

log entries. It looks to me as though people are trying to bust a buffer 

valve and hack my system. There are some very long entries.

Is this the place to ask for help to ...
   - understand what is happening
   - harden my system

...?

I can post some of the log entries for comment or look elsewhere for help

I'm running Apache2 2.0.53-5.1 on SuSE 9.1

Thanks for any leads

Mike
