I believe it's pretty good for analyzing apache logs :-) However, it may not be intrusion oriented :-( I agree with the choice of webalizer. It is very easy to install, has a very nice interface with apache, and mandrake delivers a rpm for your convenience. Intrusion detection would necessitate another kind of program altogether, i.e. NIDS. In this direction, I would suggest you take a look at snort. A very nice program that will provide you with numerous alerts for all http traffic to port 80. drjung of course, if what you mean is you want to see what pages are requesting graphics from your site, (like is someone else's web page making use of my bandwidth by refering to graphics on my site) then webalizer, (and reading the logs, the software cann't do it by itself) is the right answer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Detecting an Active Network Interface
I use something similiar to this script to check connectivity across my network. With a mysql backend it has become a very useful tool. Only problem is when you try to ping firewalled hosts. If you are on the same lan segment arping can be very useful because it works on the mac layer instead of the tcp/ip layer, can ping through most firewalls unless it is a mac oriented iptables firewall.

[expert] Anybody using Soyo SY-P4S-645DX DRAGON Ultra MB?
I'm thinking about a new system, and at the moment I'm leaning towards the Soyo SY-P4S-645DX DRAGON Ultra motherboard. The chipset is SiS 645DX with a SiS 961B southbridge. The Mandrake hardware compatibility database doesn't have these listed either way. The MB does have ATA/133 RAID, but I'm not really interested in using that. (I've seen the postings about problems with that part.) To go with this MB, I'm thinking about a P4 at 2.23GHz with 533MHz FSB, 1GB of PC2700 DDR RAM, a 7200 RPM ATA/133 disk, a 128 MB ATI All-in- Wonder 8500DV video card, and an NFREN 18.1 NF-1800MAP LCD monitor. (Yeah, I know, both the video card and monitor have TV tuners. :-) Should be noticably faster than the 233 MHz MMX box I'm writing this on. :-) Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone has booted the above mentioned MB (or chipset) under either Mandrake 8.1 or 8.2?
