Hi Sandro, i have installed the swatch rpm package and other perl dependent packages with no error. i've made some changes in the /etc/swatch/swatch.conf based on your guideline. but i got an error mesg when i tried to run /usr/bin/swatch. swatch: cannot read /root/.swatchrc swatch: using default configuration of: watchfor = /.*/ echo = random
you should use the command line option --config-file /etc/swatch/swatch.conf. Take a look on the snortd script I wrote.
btw, what is the purpose of swatch_old2newrc? is this the program that runs the swatch.conf?
No swatch.conf is read within swatch. From the swatch_old2newrc perl script: "This program will convert an swatch version 2 configuration file into a new style configuration file. I highly reccomend that you examine the new file before using it."
