Re: Intrushield vs. ISS once more...

[Chris Mills <securinate () gmail com>]

The problem I am having is that some packets (usually summary events),
in the response tab, there is no option to view the data, but in the
configured response tab, "Capture 256 bytes of applicable data" has a
green check. Also, when I edit a policy to turn on extended logging,
let's say 10 packets for an alert, I cannot view that packet data,
even though in the other tab, it says it is logging it. For the
packets that will display data, it's great, and I love how it
integrates with Ethereal.
