Logwatch is a customizable log analysis system. Logwatch parses through your system's logs for a given period of time and creates a report analyzing areas that you specify, in as much detail as you require. Logwatch is easy to use and will work right out of the package on most systems.

1. Login to your server as root via SSH.

2. Load the logwatch configuration file Type: pico -w /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf

3. Search for where the log files are mailed too. Press: CTRL-W Type: MailTo Set the e-mail address to an off server account so incase you get hacked they can not delete the mail without hacking atleast 2 servers.

4. Now lets change what actions you are alerted of. CTRL-W Type: Detail

5. Detail = Low Change that to Medium, or High. I suggest high, because you will get more detailed logs with all actions.

6. Once you are done lets Exit & Save CTRL-X then Y then Enter

1. UNIX vs. Windows- What server operating system should you use for your web hosting?
So you’ve decided to create a website? The most obvious thing that you need is of course web hosting. Among other things, like cost and features, you’ll need to decide which server you’ll need: Windows (NT, 2000 or XP) or Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.). Both have their merits, so the first thing you should think about when making this decision is if you are looking for stability, or ease of use.

3. Managed Vs. Unmanaged Dedicated Hosting By Paras Shah
"Unmanaged dedicated servers" - this is a pretty uninviting term to many, especially the non-gurus, but in most cases is not as "non-servicing" as it seems.

The truth is that unless you just picked a lousy provider or have unreasonable expectations, unmanaged hosting offers…
