Lucky for you something like it has already been done but do a = little research first. I would first give Marty Reoch a shout. He might know of a similar = project underway to point you at or Sourcefire might be developing = something in the wings. Sourcefire might be more than happy to include = your efforts into a project like this. Why duplicate a currently ongoing = open source project? If those don't pan out then do what Steve Jobs does = and I quote. "Good inventors create. Great inventors steal." NFR has a = IDS that boots off of CD-Rom. I have heard two stories that it is based = on FreeBSD or OpenBSD. Get your hands on a demo and do some investigating = into what NFR believes is the very minimal in needed files for a BSD = flavor server. Happy hunting, --David >>> "Not Going to Tell You" <luckywolf19@hotmail.com> 08/27/01 05:25PM >>> We would like to have a script written that removes all files not needed = for=20 a FreeBSD server.
