Hi, I'm suspicious of the security of my system. I'm running DSL (which uses PPP over Ethernet). Yesterday I had an incident where my machine seemed to bog down while I wasn't doing anything unusual that would cause it.. The only thing I can find is in the /var/log/messages file where I find lines llike this: Feb 15 17:37:00 eden -- MARK -- Feb 15 17:57:00 eden -- MARK -- I don't know enough about the log files to know if this is a valid log message... It looks suspicious to me. Can anyone tell me if this is a normal message? Pointers to recommended reading on the log file (normal) contentes and Linux Security on the 'net would be most appreciated. Advance thanks for any help that you net/security gurus can lend. --terry Name: Terry D.
