  Larry, could you expand on what you mean by "security monitoring"?  We
tend to take a very conservative stance towards security on our machines
with ANS Web Hosting, but I could read this phrase to mean a number of
things:

  - providing a secured version of the OS
  - secure administrator/user access methods
  - network segmentation/isolation
  - integrity checking (i.e. tripwire)
  - port scanning

  If you could provide some details on what you're looking for, I might be
able to point you in the right direction.

    Alice and Bob aren't speaking anymore.  She lost his public key.
