Put simply. te firewall is the lock on the door. The IDS is the burlar alarm that goes off when the door's opened. If those aren't enough, you look at hardening the system with LIDS, Bastille, selinux or similar. I don't know if LIDS works on S/390, but if you want to see what it can do, look for Enguarde Linux at http://www.engardelinux.org/ -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
