I have a dedicated server which runs centos. Today i got an email from loginwatch on my server with hundreds of lines of 'errors'. I don't really know what they are becasue i am fairly new at this.
The lines are in a few sections, I will display the first 10 of all of them, i hope someone can help me fix these problems.
