SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

Router problems solved
At least, part of it.
Updated the firmware, it seems there has been a DHCP vulnerability, so that may have caused the reset to zero.
Found the way to enable my telnet port (not 23, obviously) so I can use telnet to reach the machinery. Good.
But still the porblem of retrieving the log data. The program: Logviewer, seems to exist on Windows only. Doesn't have to be a problem though, if the format is documented, but I doubt it would be. Well, just ask...
Intrusion prevention
The people behind pppool.de have answered and said they have taken precautions to prevent scanning and abuse of Diana. I like these people!

Analog shows you the usage patterns on your web server by
analyzing the log files. The offical
version of analog is VMS ready but at
http://www-pi.physics.uiowa.edu/~dyson/analog/ there are
some
VMS specific improvments by Rick Dyson.

Thanks for this information, Ian.
But I'm concerned about the log of the router (=firewall). Charon has one that I downloaded and processed, but Cerberos...See blog for details!
