Security - how to notice compromises.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

 I`m not terribly paranoid over the whole security thing...I generally
only set things up to achieve one of two things:

 (a) to prove that I can and
 (b) to maximise my time in bed.

 Still, I was interested when I was speaking to the postmaster at uni a
while back he mentioned that when he was online from one of his machines
at home a while back, someone tried to gain access to his system.

 How do folk pick up on attempts at entry to machines?
