Hi, I've seen this debate before. I use onmonitor regularly. I use onmonitor in preference to the command line for several functions. Regards, Malcolm. -----Original Message----- From: malcolm@odbc.freeserve.co.uk [SMTP:malcolm@odbc.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: 09 June 2003 17:24 To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: onconfig file The system administrator at my current site thought he would be very clever and he linked the onconfig files to different directories using ln -s. We have now discovered that these links are being lost when we use onmonitor and replaced by a local file, but not when we use vi. Is this yet another reason why we should not use onmonitor? Does anybody else think that onmonitor still has a role in teaching IDS to prospective admins? It is still documented in the manuals so presumably it should still work. regards Malcolm P.S. I am having to use google groups to post messages as info security here has to be seen to be believed.
