Log permissions
Hey all :)
I'm just wondering if there is any big security hole in changing the log files in /var to 604 - the reason I ask is because I'm writing a PHP site that I will be able to access and i'd like to be able to logon and view my logs. Can someone please give me some advice on this one? Ta :) |
It's not a big hole, but a security hole it is. It could give an intruder very much information about your system. I call it "Not a big hole" because of course your box is secure, right? ;)
I'd say it's safer to logon via ssh and su to root. Not an expert in this subject, though, just my opinion. |
I'd agree with Pingu.
Never confuse sysadmin stuff with application programming. It's just asking for trouble. |
Thanks for the comments - i'll find another way of doing it and keep permissions as they are :-)
