[buug] [CalLUG-announce] Apache Server

[Luis]

Thank you very much for the help and links.

I installed portsentry on my linux box (rh7.2)  2 days ago. I have to say
that you were right about the portscanning.

I had about 50 scans one night.

Thank you once again. What do you think I should learn next ? if you don't
mind me asking.
