Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

It turns out that portsentry comes with the RH 9.0 distro, although it 
isn't part of the default install.  Once I made the decision to implement 
it, the DOS guy apparently gave up in frustration at having no noticeable 
impact. We'll still install it, but I am going to wait for the sysadmin to 
come back from vacation
