Strange - companies like Symantec would disagree with you. They
certainly think there's a future in host-based IDS.

Of course, the IDS is easy - it's the centralised management that's
hard... How you handle 10,000 hosts all sending 100 alerts/sec to your
central console when SLAMMER-IV hits one machine is beyond me ;-)

[to be fair, I'm confusing centralised management with centralised
logging here]
