Stick a few of these around the server room, lot cheaper and easier than 
configuring a tripwire security policy to detect a few differences in 
permissions and ownerships when some nitwit network engineer can't figure 
out how to fix a Windows DHCP address pool issue locking some yahoo CEO of 
some networking consulting service company from assuming the DHCP server's 
IP address.  Yep, TripWire would have detected that type of alert.

Gnawing so more on coyote ugly arm.. :)

This is fine and we will all have our own definitions, yet, as time has
progressed and SW has too, I still tend to differentitate;

in my mind IDS systems are more proactive, able to warn at the point of
attack, while tools like tripwire can only warn you 'after the fact'.  I
think there is a vast difference in those two parts od what some like to
lump into one definition.
