Remember, that a HIDS (host IDS) is just a detective control on the host. It shows that you have been hacked, you will probably want a good NIDS (network IDS) to see what attacks are being attempted over the wire.

HIDS is good to quickly detect a compromise...

I'm surprised more people aren't running tripwire or other IDS.

I'd be interested to hear some recommendations for IDS to run on
internet facing servers.

I inherited a tripwire installation at some point. It was one mail message per day (and if you didn't get that message you knew something was wrong).

It required a bit of tuning to not report errors regularly, but once I spent
that time it was fairly hands-off.
