You'll have to bear with me here, I'm still very new to linux in general, and I have a few questions about a potential honeynet project I have in mind. I own a 266mhz machine, 320mb of ram, and I would like to test the idea of virtual honeynets via vmware.

Unfortunately I hear that vmware cannot be run on OpenBSD (host), an operating system I feel safer with, which leads me to choosing Trustix or Slackware as the host operating system. I only plan to run one or two virtual machines inside the host OS.

In essence, I am asking for suggestions from the honeypotters here on what I should do. I need to really lock down the host operating system and hopefully do all the auditing of the virtual machines from it. Can I place the virtual machines on a different subnet than the host OS? What security measures should I take to lockdown the host (i.e. LIDS, tripwire, etc.) And finally, if anyone can take the time out of there schedules, to help me go over these ideas a bit further. Thanks in advance.
