        DAMN!  I overhauled based on guardian-1.3.0 which was available
        via www.snort.org.  You can add "merge changes from 1.4" to the
        things todo list.  Sorry bout that.

        Most of the "TODO" list should be done this weekend.


Well, I've spent the last couple of days redoing gaurdian.  Here is
the list of added enhancments:

 -FreeBSD ipfw support (specify firewallType in conf file)
 -Firewall interface
      - Max Firewall rule size 
      - An expire timer that runs (old guardian didn't expire properly)
      - Ability to handle mulitple Class C (or smaller) targets
      - Reuse of Firewall rules (FreeBSD only)
      - Easy to add other Firewall tools (send requests)
 -IPFilter support (Should be done real soon)
 -See what IP's are blocked with SIGUSR2 signal (without flushing fw)
 -Better error checking
 -Better logging
 -General bug fixes

I have tarballed  it up at:

http://freebsd.rogness.net/snort/guardian-2.0b.tgz

Things that still need to be done:

 -Official documentation (man pages, README, etc)
 -Bug reports/fixes (especially Linux people...don't have Linux)
 -Commenting
 -Better loading (PM's maybe?)
 -Ignoring Anomolies 
 -PreProcessor log recognition
 -Other stupid stuff ;-)

I didn't update any of the docs (with the exception of guardian.conf)
to reflect my changes.  I figured with nimda on the loose people could
use this in a hurry.  All should be fixed this weeked (yes IPF support
too). For all you FreeBSD lovers out there, I will make a 'port' out
of it this weekend.
