I am in the process of doing this myself. In theory, there is no reason this should not work. Both the sensors and the management station are standard Solaris boxes running Solaris 7. The MS is usually a ultra-sparc and the probes are x86, but this is mostly due to hardware cost issues. The only issue is that the most current version of the IDS probe software can no longer be downloaded from CCO, you must get it on a CD and you can only get the CD if you already have a NR smartnet contract.

Is it true that you can, using software from the Director CD, turn any Sun workstation into a Sensor? If so, has anybody ever done this, and were there any problems, or does this new sensor behave exactly like one bought from Cisco? I am trying to set up a cheap IDS lab, and I don't want to pay through the nose for sensors, I'd rather "make" my own, if this is possible.
