[ILUG] Help with web site security

some tips on logins

- make sure root access via ssh is disabled

- move ssh from port 22

- install denyhosts

- if you're the only one accessing server you can add a simple line to 
the bash profile for email alerts on login

echo `whoami`' login on host:'`hostname` from:`who` | mail -s "Alert: 
`whoami` login on `hostname` " me at email.com

This is useful historical data even if your just sending to an email 
which is not monitored. When you get hacked is all logs are cleaned.

(command utmpdump and last are also helpful)
