Every few days I see in the logwatch on my Centos-5.5 web-server what seems like a rather feeble break-in attempt.

Maybe just make sure your set apache ServerSignature to Off...

Thanks for the suggestion.

I looked at my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and I saw that ServerSignature was indeed set to On. This must have been the default, as I certainly would not have changed it, since I found the explanation of its purpose completely incomprehensible: ------------------------------------ # Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host # name to server-generated pages ------------------------------------

I have changed it to Off, and restarted the httpd service.
