unsuccessfully trying to start

I installed and tested out Google Openmeetings today. It does work, but
not near as slick as other browser based collaboration tools like WebEx,
MeetingPlace, etc. But those other ones are not free either :) It feels

I highly recommend logwatch as well. I particularly love the fact that i can

You might just benefit from installing awstats, which will give you a nice log
platform.
Awstats can be a security risk, but in order to really see what's happening,
awstats is great.
Your logs can be heavily configured in many ways, and it's going to depend on

although you would thing that they would shut these options down by

Well, the sad fact is that _any_ machine will kick over and barf it's guts
under distributed attacks; it just depends on what it does after the green

Also, it really helps if you run one that won't take WRT, or only runs on an
