I'm not actually using it now, I'm considering a small private project to explore Log4Perl. As far as work situations are concerned, what I meant by security info isn't very different from Apache logging, it's just a matter of context. In particular, at the bank where I worked last winter (hi Vlad), they had a special account WXYZ which ran certain programs, and people would log on as WXYZ and run scripts. Well, that's not very different from logging on as root. So we came up with an suid script named wxyz which would let outside people run programs uzing the WXYZ account ... a first step in migrating away from SU anonymity. Previously, you knew that fifty people had logged on as WXYZ and one of them had run 'rm -rf *'. With the new system, you knew who had done what, because the system logged the requests. -- In reply to Re: Re: Re: Serious & personal meditation
