I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with 'LAMP Stack' StackScript.

I notice the website directory is located in /srv/www/ and I thought this is quite strange.

How do I check if /srv/www/ is secure?

If I create a new directory or files in /srv/www/ (logged as root), what permission/user do I need to set?

My friend did a chmod -R 777 /var by mistake.

Morning Folks,

I am fairly new to linux and I am trying to setup ntop to monitor my network traffic. I installed it ok but I am having a hard time forcing ntop to define my local hosts from remote hosts.

I currently uses the subnetworks of 10.10.0.0\24, 10.10.2.0\24 ....

I have some directories of files copied from my security camera that I would like to organize into sub-directories by file date.
