TCP-Wrapper logs stealth scans. It comes along with LINUX, e.g. (tnx to
Wietse Venema)
ike this is going to degrade in another o/s flame war.. :-)

Use SQL-Server 6.5 with read-write, and you'll see that there will be
a big decrease in speed, due to problems with locking. For read only
it's ok, but a lot slower than adabas for LINUX and large databases
adabas is at 100$ unlimited !!!!!

Ohno, mission critical does mean changing the config of one application
without disturbing the other. How do you get this managed with NT ?

Yes. Remember WINNUKE. I know, many companies hat to invest into a
firewall (WWW), just because patches for german version came much
too late. With linux we had them 3 hours later (tnx to Allen Cox)
Even american versions came much too late. NT service is really bad.
So with mission critical and NT there is nogo with me
