---Reply on mail from Steven M. Bellovin about "Dropsafe" logs
There's certainly some ambiguity in the original request, and your reading may be closer to the intent than mine was. I'll defend myself by noting that the rest of my response suggested a $500 Linux box. The medium itself isn't write-once, but the service is.
Additionally you can get an OS that is free and has attributes that allow for file appending only, and require going into a non networked 'secure' mode to change that attribute.. I dont know if linux supports this attribute (and requires some secure level setting that typically inhibits network access) however it would prevent deleting logs, but not appending useless inaccurate friviolous logs that would fill the disk.. -- Bret McDanel http://www.rehost.com Realistic Technologies, Inc. 973-514-1144 These opinions are mine, and may not be the same as my employer
