[Bio-Linux] Firewall logs and backup drives "2"

[Dan Swan]

Just to clarify my previous email:

Those of you who have edited syslog.conf (this is the master 
configuration file the system event logger) will notice that the line I 
gave to add in is slightly different to those already in there.

I suggested:

kern.=debug                     -/var/log/firewall.log

if you wish to maintain the look and feel of syslog conf:

kern.=debug                     /var/log/firewall.log

is equally appropriate - removing the trailing "-" is not an issue.

I also forgot to mention (thanks to Rob Ansderson of Imperial College) 
that if you were to create a cron.monthly job to e2fsck the backup drive 
(basically think of it as a disk integrity checker like Windows 
Scandisk) you will need to chmod 755 the file you create:

sudo chmod 755 /etc/cron.monthly/check.sh

otherwise it will not run!

Cheeers,

Dan
