Saludos,

Thats greetings in Spanish. I'd like to introduce myself, with your
permission. I'm a professor of electronics whose minimal
understanding of UNIX and TCP/IP has put him on the spot. I work for
the largest campus of the largest private University in Puerto Rico.
Our school has decided to move from an SNA based mainframe system to
a TCP/IP+UNIX client/server system over the next several months. The
administration has chosen to keep an administrative network separate
from the wide open academic network connected to the Internet. A
wise choice IMHO due to lack of experience with this kind of system
here. However this state of affairs is not bound to remain so. As
the one who was "volunteered" by our Head Honchos to oversee the
transition for our campus, I can foresee increased pressure to
provide some services to all those administrators. With that will
come a host of security issues, hence my interest in IDS.
