OnLamp (http://www.onlamp.com/) has a link to a couple security related
articles that PLUGers may find interesting:

	Snort 'n' Dragon
	
	 Snort and Dragon are two intrusion-detection programs that allow you
	 to detect hackers trying to break into your system

	Understanding Rootkits

	 Hackers have many tools that allow them to remain undetected during
	 an attack. Understanding these tools is key to recognizing and
	 cleaning up after an attack.

	Tripwire

	 When a hacker gets through your primary defences, its hard to tell
	 what they may have done to your system. Tripwire can reliably detect
	 changes to your system, including rootkits.
