Individual logs leaves out two things that I, as sysadmin, consider important:

I've been toying with an idea Ron Johnson mentioned. You can create a directory /usr/local/log and make everything in it world writeable, but not world readable. You could name the log file with a name that can not easily by guessed or subject to a dictionary attack...but...since /etc/maildrop/maildroprc needs to be world readable, the log file name can be determined by anyone and written to. From a security standpoint, it sucks and for that reason, maildrop can not securely use a directly written central log file. - -- Robin Lynn Frank Director of Operations Paradigm-Omega, LLC ====================== Signature terminated by sigfault. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
