Log Purging For /var/log/secure

Hi All,

I know log purging happens for /var/log/secure on daily basis. I am not able to understand what triggers log purging?

I have a linux device for which /var/log/secure is growing, now it has secure.1 secure.2 secure.3 and secure.4 files.

Any input is appreciated.

Hiding Webhost's Nameservers In DNS

I am trying to learn enough to manage my own site using a VPS.

Is there some way to hide who my web host is in the DNS record? (Looking to make things more secure.)

Someone I know mentioned that I should get a "Virtual Name Server (VNS)".

Not sure that I understand what that is, or why it would benefit me.

Anyway, is there a way to make it harder or impossible to know who my web host is?

Sincerely,


Rob

I have a new laptop (Lenovo Z50-70, Corei3, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, Nvidia graphics) that came with only FreeDOS. I want to install Windows 8.1 and Linux (preferably Slackware64 14.1).

What Linux System For A Simple Linux Web Server

The local provider has given us a fixed IP so we can have a web server for the car club's domain.

I will be using a Dell 2400 desktop computer with a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB hard drive and a DVD drive.

I want to use command line, not GUI and FTP the club's car pictures from my home.

My only Linux experience was sparse use of Red Hat 2.05 which is now 15 years old and not secure.

If the structure and folders are the same, Can I use CentOS 5.11 or 6.6

Thank you,
