 There is an interesting article/link on Linuxtoday.com

 http://linuxtoday.com/security/2004091200226OSNT

 I quote from Linuxtoday.com ...

"Hal [Polmeranz], owner of Deer-Run Associates, posted the slides from his
excellent presentation entitled, 'Simple Unix Tricks: Spotting Break-ins."

"The presentation is geared toward the busy administrator who has more to do
than track security on his or her servers. Hal opens his presentation with a
few quick, native commands that you can run on the system to smartly detect
potential exploits. "

This will lead you to his pdf slide presentation... nicely done, covering
both Unix and Linux. It crystallizes the commands / techniques that we all
use, and maybe some new thoughts. <g>
