This is a good thread and awakened my quest for some mild intrusion 
detection scheme. I installed snort, which pulls in some other packages, 
and what I am left with ~IS~ confusing to a mere "super user" who is not 
a network geek whizbang. So, I feel the OP's pain here. But, I too would 
like to learn. If this isn't the place to discuss it at length, maybe 
the discussion could be held over on bikeshed more in-depth?? We need 
some new topics there besides "Eating The Rich" recipes and "Liberals vs 
Conservatives", although we are having Great Fun with them. Besides, the 
sharks could use some fresh meat there.

But, the OP is correct, there is a LOT of things to consider hitting you 
at once so a nice little simple GUI would be swell. :) Ric
