Re: Good news!
Curious that the link document was dated 11-03 and Redhat v 6.2 (the platform deployed upon) was two versions behind the currently available version of the Redhat product at that time (version 9.0 of Redhat was GA in Sept 2003). Of course IDS v 9.4 has been out for quite a bit of time as well so??? Just curious...
