Ok, building on that, is there anyway to make an append only file system and make it where root cannot change or delete anything in the logs? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nathaniel Hall Intrusion Detection and Firewall Technician Ozarks Technical Community College -- Office of Computer Networking 417-799-0552 -----Original Message----- From: Henry Axelrod [mailto:AxelrodH@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:03 PM To: halln@xxxxxxx; redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Read Only File System You can do this by creating a sepreate partition or drive to mount for that fs. When you add the entry to /etc/fstab you can place "ro" in the options column. For Example: LABEL=/home /home ext3 ro 1 1 The preceding line will mount the home directory as read only. You will of course have to remeber to label the partition as /home. You will also probably want to add more options then just read only. This is just an example. >>> halln@xxxxxxx 6/8/2004 3:44:25 PM >>> I am working a creating a remote log server using RedHat Advanced Server 3. I would like to be able to make an entire file system read only where root can't even change the contents. Does anybody know of a way to do this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nathaniel Hall Intrusion Detection and Firewall Technician Ozarks Technical Community College -- Office of Computer Networking 417-799-0552 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _____________ LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
