Hi all!
Recently I have seen these messages (among others) in /var/log/messages:

messages:Apr  7 19:18:14 sarajuana rshd[187]: no modules loaded for `rshd' service

This looks suspicious to me, I didn't know what rsh is until now (newbie).
Is this dangerous??
I saw too that the file /var/log/security is empty, I would like to log
there all the login failures, bad su's, the location of all the remote
conections, etc.
What does the line:
security.*				/var/log/security
in /etc/syslog.conf does?

Thanks.

Victor.
