I am running a Debian Squeeze VPS and need a good IDS. I have used snort before and it was quite good but i am wandering if there are any other good ones out there.

Preferably compatible with modsecurity.

I personally prefer OSSEC. It is a free, open source tool backed up with commercial support.
