A Linux version of system and network monitoring?

[Crawford Rainwater]

Folks,

Does anyone know of a Linux based system and network
monitoring program out there?  Similar to Tivoli or
HP OpenView, preferably under GPL and free?  If so,
links and such would be great.

This would be used to monitor a remote system being
"up" or "down" along with potentially UPS networked
device as well.

Thanks in advance.

 smbclient needs to read smb.conf, even when run by an unpriviledged user.

[Steve Meyer]

It is also important to remember not to chown log files.  If you do this you 
could run into problems.  The proccess that writes the file may not be able 
too.

A Linux version of system and network monitoring?

[Crawford Rainwater]

Folks,

Does anyone know of a Linux based system and network
monitoring program out there?  Similar to Tivoli or
HP OpenView, preferably under GPL and free?  If so,
links and such would be great.

This would be used to monitor a remote system being
"up" or "down" along with potentially UPS networked
device as well.

Thanks in advance.

Probably depends on your flavour of ftp daemon. Mine is
-rw-r-1 root adm   335 Apr 24 15:46 /var/log/xferlog

Here, /var/log/samba is:
drwxr-x---2 root adm  4096 Apr 28 07:48 /var/log/samba
The files *are*
-rw-r--r--1 root root11144 Apr 28 14:49 log.nmbd
-rw-r--r--1 root root 1314 Apr 29 10:24 log.smbd
but this doesn't matter.

I don't have mailman, so I can't comment.

I don't see anything that needs protection in my (default) proftpd.conf.

Don't have.

This one can have user names, so I guess it would be better off with
tighter access modes.

I have no idea what this file is.

Actually, having tighter access rights on logfiles may lead to the admin
handing out the root password to more people, resulting in lowered
security.

Be paranoid within reason. If you tighten security so much that you can
only work as root, you're easier to screw by trojans.
