The AWK programmers are going to flame me for this, but...... AWK and sed go real hand-in-hand in writing scripts. However, since Perl came along, it has combined the two along with LOTS of other neat toys making it a good replacement. If you want to learn a VERY useful scripting language, I'd start with Perl. > And also, I was intimating that I may have had unauthorized users, so you > all have good "reading-between-the-lines" skills ;-) Might want to look at something like Tripwire to monitor stuff like that. It's pretty good at watching for things that should not, or rarely change and gives you a warning. May not stop them from getting in, but may alert you so you can stop them before they use your box for nasty stuff. > > Thanks again, > > Jim > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE*. > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail > > > > -- > Psyche-list mailing list > Psyche-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list > -- Jay Crews jpc@jaycrews.com -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
