I think this can be extended a little (unless this somehow warrents a
category of its own).  I have seen people deploy honeypots not to
learn or detect anything, but purely to lure the would be attacker
away from the real network, with what would appear to be an easier
target.  I'm not so sure this is the best use, but I figured it
warrented mentioning none the less :)
