I have posted my logs here:

www.pihp.com/syslog
www.pihp.com/syslog.0
www.pihp.com/syslog.1
www.pihp.com/dmesg

I also looked at my auth.log and noticed a myriad of "illegal user"  
attempts. Shouldn't I report the IP addresses or is that futile?

Is it possible to get my logs sent to me daily/weekly or some such?

thanks,
jason
