Re: Unix/Linux security events

[Marc Ouwerkerk <olderchurch () gmail com>]

Disclaimer: I used to work for IBM.

IBM has a lot of documentation about security and security events.

Their product Compliance Insight Manager has a manual which tells you
what events you can log:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/topic/com.ibm.itcim.doc/tcim85_install100.html#wq229

Make sure you understand what you are doing. Don't enable everything,
or your system will go beserk. Rotate the logs frequently, so your
disks won't fill up. It's a good idea to use a seperate partition for
your logs.

Also different UNIX's have different settings and different quirks, so
read about the UNIX variant you are using.

HTH,

Marc

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
