As it stands, it only logs weekly. As well, if there is anyone who can point me to some good info on using cron effectively, I would appreciate it.
The logcheck program contains a utility that does the appropriate magic
and is pretty neat itself. Unfortunately it's not packaged (although
someone said they would make a package just recently), I don't know the
web site and the author has neglected to include it in the distribution.
Searching on http://www.securityfocus.com/ will turn it up, though -
look at free tools then intrusion detection IIRC.
