Hi,


I'd like to propose a minor change to 
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual


While I have no argument with intrusion detection, I don't see anything 
for active response. A metaphor would be Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's 
extended joke:

Anyway, I'd like to propose adding a section that describes ossec. While 
I appreciate the detection aspect, I'm just a person who admins a server 
farm of 6 Linodes mostly running WordPress. It took longer than it 
should have to learn about ossec. I think an entry in the guide would be 
helpful. Also, with DEFCON approaching, this seems an appropriate time 
to start this discussion.

Cheers,
jec
