[svlug] Web statistics

[Tony Hartzell]

I saw that these traffic analyzers looked at apache's log file. I
checked out /var/log/apache/apache.log and in about 36 hours it's about
3.3MB and filled with entries like I've included in inc.txt...I think I
should be worried. Can anyone advise?
			Thanks,
			Tony

On the latter, one might want to also see "AWstats Setup" on 
http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Web/ .  (Why?  Because AWstats, if run in its
default CGI mode, trusts public data and does _no input validation_.
Which tends to cause things like http://linuxmafia.com/news.html .)
