     I am the UNIX system administrator for the Information Services 
     Division of the Department of Administration for Indiana state govt.
     We provide telecoms, networking, and data processing for state 
     agencies.  Recently, the state decided that Unix and Client/Server 
     would be a Good Thing (tm) to get into, hence I was hired.  Since I'm 
     the only person with real experience with Unix and the Internet, I've 
     become the de facto Internet Security Person.
     
     We've acquired a firewall and, due to the way this firewall 
     (BorderWare) is set up, have decided to have some machines on the 
     outside to provide public information.  Naturally, we would like to 
     know when these machines are compromised.  Similarly, because of the 
     fact that many different agencies with different levels of trust are 
     connected on our local campus, we need to protect machines on the 
     inside as well.
     
     My main interest in this list is learning more about Intrusion 
     Detection (a process I just went through for Firewalls) so that I can 
     make more informed decisions about where we need to head in the 
     future.
