[I cc'd the psad-discuss list since this thread may
interest people there as well].
I downloaded your ebuild file for psad, and I will try
it out on my system at home (I'm pretty new to Gentoo,
so this will be a learning experience for me). One
thing that I need to add to psad is an init script
that works in a manner similar to other Gentoo-style
init scripts. I'll probably have a 1.2.4 release that
will include this and a few other minor things. I'll
also add a link on cipherdyne.org to look for
development ebuild files for psad on your website.
Thanks!
