Hi2all

'On Earth' i would want to run a IDS on win2k for the same reasons i do it
for other OS's ... not too hard to understand...
I'll not use the win2k box in question to be a DNS server, so for what i
need it handle DNS enough.
And no, i didn't heard enough horror stories already, and i allways look for
new ones, else i get bored. Plus, i was even receiving trainning at Dracula
Castle (aka MC trainning), so when horror comes, i run to it, not run from
it. 

Now ... what about practical solutions? dear vendor list colleges? =]

Kind Regards
Fernando Martins
