| Ive been working on configuring this suite on a box and I must say im very impressed.
However, these tools are processor intensive and Im wondering if Ive misonfigured something as CPU% is 50-60% utilized by psentry,hsentry combined. Or maybe this is normal?
What are others using to achieve the same results? Are they a neccessary compliment to a good wall? | |

| What kind of hardware are we talking about? How much traffic is running through it? I have portsentry running on a couple boxes and processor utilization remains very low (toping 5% is unusual). Neither of them has to pass more then a couple megs a second on the interfaces that port sentry's running on though. | |

Very minimal traffic on the interface. It seems Ive got something misconfigured? | |

Either that or hostsentry is a processor hog. I've never used it before. Portsentry shouldn't strain your processor at all in the setup you described. |
