We're currently running the educational version of tripwire... no one is
really administering it and the reports are just being ignored. As I see
it, the short fall of this free version is the inability to centralize the
databases/reports and the granularity/control of the reports. From what I
saw it's quite cryptic as well. My company's a non profit and qualifies for
tripwire's commercial product with a discount. We're considering going to
it, but want to see if there are viable alternatives. Has any one put
together something that can be used with the existing freeware version of
tripwire as far as centralizing information and creating reports? Are there
any other free or commercial products that may better/easier? How does
Flight Recorder fit into the scheme of things. Obviously these are pretty
green questions, but we had to get attacked for someone to get off their
duffs and now they want to know everything yesterday. At least the check
books are coming out :-)

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Roy Harrison

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe,"
a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself,
his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest
-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our
circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
nature in its beauty. "
