I skip through logwatch on a couple of machines each day,
to see if any disasters have occurred.
But I don't really understand many of the entries,
or rather their significance.
Eg today:
--------------------- iptables firewall Begin ------------------------
Dropped 6 packets on interface eth0
From 87.230.101.22 - 1 packet to tcp(25)
From 124.229.7.16 - 3 packets to tcp(25)
From 190.2.0.221 - 2 packets to tcp(25)
---------------------- iptables firewall End -------------------------
So should I ignore these strange people?
And
--------------------- samba Begin ------------------------
**Unmatched Entries**
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(173)
Error - should be sent to WINS server : 564 Time(s)
---------------------- samba End -------------------------
What is an "unmatched entry?
I guess I'm looking for a beginners' guide on
"Logwatch entries and what to do about them"?
