No - He wants to be notified immediately if an FTP or SSH connection is established. The Server will have a Firewall in front of it, that will only allow certain IP's to FTP + SSH - Therefore the only FTP + SSH connections *should* be legitimate....And he wants to be notified real-time when they occur. > 2) a means to query the server at any time to show ftp/ssh > connections? > 1) would use cron to check maybe netstats and email a report. > 2) could use webmin, which has a 'webbased' shell to run > 'netstat' or 'who'. > Or maybe something else? I'm thinking a TCPWrapppers script would be the simplest method.... Regards, MB
