I installed it but haven't managed to dig into it enough. One caveat, you
_must_ have it configured before trying to boot off a lids kernel. My
system refuses to boot when it can't find a valid lids.conf.
I'll probably get more around to it later. I don't know if it's truly an
"intrusion detection system" but it's more a compartmentalized system
security. I want it primarily for demagicifying 'root'. Without that
step you don't have a lot of hope for getting secure.
