Hiya, A company that I occasionally do some system admin work for was getting worried about the amount of "Stuff(tm)" that was arriving at their doorstep and asked me to have a look for 'em. Configured up the rusty old laptop with Slackware, Apache / php, Snort Postgres and Acid and took myself along to see 'em. Plugged the laptop into the network (that was a whole other story... I had to go and buy a second PCMCIA network card...) and went out for a smoke..(Yeah, I know. I'll give up some day) Came back in, cranked up Netscape on one of their boxes and had a look at what snort said. The upshot was that I spent the arvo configuring a box up for 'em so they could do it themselves. Can you say impressed. They can...:-) Their IT manager spent the arvo playing with the Acid output from the laptop...:) It's a pity that it's so easy to set up an Linux based router / firewall with Snort and stuff. I only got a days work out of 'em...
