    I did want to add some type of monitoring here, but I found the script
    the easiest and simplest way; people should be able to follow it.

    Thats a fair call.. I called chapter 6 'concepts' for that reason, and
    Ive tried to keep the explanations as simple as possible. Security and
    simple are a hard match to start with, thats the reason I at least
    provided them with an example script to get them started. This is only
    the initial release, I think it would be suitable to include a package
    in future revisions.

    That is correct, similar to sendmail initscript and "make -C /etc/mail"
    etc... I put this in more as precautionary and it wont hurt them to run
    it, I also mentioned the sendmail one just to be safe.
