Thank you Quman. After looking in the online.log (note to self: always
look in the online.log) I discovered IDS could not bind to the port
number defined in /etc/services. One of the failed "oninit -iv"'s must
not have released the port. I killed the "oninit" process and as I look
over my shoulder, the engine is on-line.
