    So did we learn anything today, or was this mostly an offbeat topic?

    What do you guys think about the honeypot database server to attract hackers or for duress login re-directs?

    I think a kidnap/coercion attack on a sysadmin/DBA is a very unlikely scenario for most non-government/classified installations.

    I've always been intrigued by honeypots, but I've never spent the time to really study them. I know my wife's observatory could use one: for some reason they're attacked a lot by attempted hacks, but they're pretty casual script kiddie-level attacks.
