Subject:   NIDS and ipfilter on same box -- is this advisable?

hi. i'm looking for some explanation of libpcap.  i'm no coder therefore
source code won't help me.  i've searched in google and found way too much
reference (65,000 links!) for libpcap.

basically i just want to find out if setting up a firewall (ipfilter) on the
same system as where a NIDS is installed would affect the job of the NIDS.
i'm using snort for my NIDS.
