I didn't know if it required a special build for FC4. (I'm still reading the section on compiling source rather than installing new packages). I have my router transfer its syslogs to one of the boxes inside my network. These log files are sent to Dshield for analysis only. It doesn't provide any protection what so ever, Dshield use a %age sample of submitted data to see what is happening on the net. (SANS (http://www.sans.org/) is also involved somewhere along the line). Regards Chris
