What is the best setup (that is secure) for a network connection for 
passive sensing?

I presently have a sensor set up with ARP and XMIT turned off, and I 
certainly cannot ping the
interface.  And it works just fine as a sensor.

I'm working on Solaris 8 for one sensor and OpenBSD for the other.  Solaris 
tcpdump definitely doesn't like an interface that's been plumbed but 
doesn't have an IP address assigned.   I'm presently using 127.0.0.2 and it 
seems to be working just fine.

Any suggestions on a better setup?  How secure is this?

Thanks!!
