    Its a corporate thing but with 100,000 plus hosts to monitor it is advisable plus we found some problems with it which required some changes and they refused to do them. Went to another solution and they included the changes we required (then again, its diddley squat to do with me as it doesn't work on the platform I work with.)

    Got ya. I use several different tools and some scripting of my own to augment security. Never had any issues with monitoring tools.

    It's 1/4 odds that the second Admin slams the car and is out of mobile signal the server goes down.

    Am off to the Whipsnade in a minute with the little admins so fingers crossed it won't cause me too much hassle while I'm out...
