I've tried snort. apt-get install snort worked fine for me. Don't know

If you have another system use it to run Nessus. I threw a Knoppix CD in
my newer(primarily Win98) box and scanned my systems and it found quite
a few problems - mainly as I was running unupdated Woody but also some
config problems. Undoutably someone else will resopnd with other
packages.
