We were on a netranger box and it was definetly solaris but when we switched the sales rep said it was now running on redhat. I will double check later today and see what it is actually running.

Is this Cisco's Secure IDS appliance? The last time I looked at them (Aug
2002) they were running on top of Solaris x86 on Dell Poweredge hardware.
The NIDS itself couldn't be more different from Snort; back then, it didn't
give any information to allow the analyst to decide whether an attack was
successful or not... :(
I don't see any mention of a switch to RH for CSIDS on Cisco's website, so
I'm a little confused...
Best Regards,
Alex.
