I fail to see the security issue. It all depends on how you set up your
alerts. For instance, I receive a text page that says "ENIAC NO TALKIE TO
SMACKWAVE SINCE 19:32" (Route down) or "MADMIKE IS GETTING ROLLED BY THE
GUYS FROM 22 TALLY WAY" (Server being probed on TCP Port 22 repeatedly).
That tells ME exactly what's wrong...but tells the guy snooping very
little.
