New article on SecurityFocus: Retain or restrain access logs?

[Erin Carroll <amoeba () amoebazone com>]

Thought I would pass this on as it ties in to some degree to the recent 
discussion of moving SSH to non-standard ports to avoid log cruft.. as 
well as the proposed requiremtn in the article being a useful pool of data 
to pull data from during pen-testing.

certain records represents a dangerous trend of turning private companies 
into proxies for law enforcement or
intelligence agencies against the interests of their clients or customers.
