Regarding stream, DOS Smurf, trash packet bombing and sybounce... Be nice to have the OS send an email. I realize this is what syslog is for but since this might be a once in awhile sort of a thing and its very important, if you are going to go to the trouble of making the OS smart enough to recognize these - make option to email the sysadmin too with an alert message. That's a little more in-your-face than syslog and might be appropriate for this once in a lifetime event. At least the option would be really great and give alot of piece of mind - no alerts, nothing happened while out to lunch. Not all sysadmins know who to write a utility to scan the logs and email an alert. Besides that's kludgy. Just a thought...
