Hi Folks;

I am kinda glad I hung around this list for a while...
I am running a FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE (recently upgraded machines) for web (Apache-1.39)mail (Qmail-1.03 sendmail-8.11.1). 
I have recently seen some activities on the web server that make me very nervous (I know I am being very general) but my concern is:

1.  How do I setup a dedicated machine to collect data and connection attempts to my machines
2. How to implement a notification systems to alert when critical files on the server have been tampered with.
3. How to find out if my machines are REALY CLEAN (some sort of software auditing to determine if what is already in the machines is a good benchmark for future security audits)


Thank you!


Dan
