Is log_in_vain really good or really bad?
...box by connection to several ports.. In
other words, a simple portscan.. yet, since my box has "log_in_vain"
enabled, so it tries to log everything to /var/log/messages, since the
logfile got full and the size went over 100K, it tried to rotate the log
to save diskspace.
(Apr 16 21:00:00 omikron newsyslog[32137]: logfile turned over due to
size>100K)
My server box is a Intel Celeron 733Mhz, 384Mb of RAM.. yet it's slow from
time to time since I only run ATA66 due to the old motherboard. When this
"attack" occured yesterday, the box almost died and the box were working
100...
