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
