[Trinux-news] New Packages (snort & friends)

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Howdy,

I finally managed to find some to do some development.  I've uploaded
several new packages:

[snort.tgz] - snort and snort-libs (get put in /etc/snort) -- snort is an
awesome open source IDS available at http://www.snort.org.  I compiled it
with mysqlclient support built in so you can log to remote mysql
servers.  This is the latest release 1.6.3p2.  It requires the next
package

[libmysql.tgz] - mysqlclient shared libraries

[mysqlbin.tgz] - the curses client for mysql (requires the package above
an below)

[libc++] - libtdc++ required for mysqlbin.tgz

------

I'm also working on a new boot floppy image.  Still 2.2.16 (don't want to
mess with a new kernel) but it now includes the latest busybox
(0.47) which has a bunch of new cool features: wget (saved 40k from
pkg.tgz, remote syslogging, and fixed the fork problem with syslog, and
more)

The bottom line is right now I've got a boot floppy with 38k left and a
kernel with FreeS/WAN support built in. 

I tested all these packages and they should work.  You'll have to modify
the snort-lib (snorts config file) in /etc/snort to your liking and I
don't have it yet so you can configure and automatically load snort.
