That's one option we're considering. _M At 10:34 AM 3/26/2004, you wrote: Maybe it is time to look at a new snf2check.exe. One that has some checksum ability. Say you download two files not one. One with the rules and the other a checksum file. Just a thought on how to keep corrupt rules from being put into production.

Re: [sniffer] Error_Bad_Matrix
I've been looking at that. The problem seems to be related to downloads, not generation. That is, every rulebase that I use locally has been clean throughout this episode. Also, folks who manually download the rulebase seem to be able to correct the problem. I'm not sure yet what is different between automated and manual downloads - except perhaps wget. I also don't have any obvious changes on our system recently. I continue to dig. _M At 03:39 PM 3/25/2004, you wrote: Pete, I decided to look in my log files for the past several days because of number of Error_Bad_Matrix related messages.

Re: [sniffer] Error_Bad_Matrix
Pete, FYI, I was trying to set up log uploads yesterday night and it took me a while to figure out that the FTP connection was unreliable from my server. Packets were being dropped/munged somewhere. I also noted a much lower hit rate on SNIFFER-PHARMACY yesterday, but no indication of matrix problems in the logs today (yesterday's were deleted). Every once in a while my colocator's border router goes on the fritz and starts dropping packets. A reboot usually fixes that issue. If your router checks out fine, you might want to take a look at the routes going from your server to the customers that have indicated a problem and those that have indicated that there is none, that might identify something not so obvious if you run out of ideas. I know how these things go and the worst part is not knowing the source while others expect an quick fix. No big deal on my end in the mean time though.

Re: [sniffer] Error_Bad_Matrix
I'm getting to be pretty sure it's Sprint. After bouncing the router there have been 109 carrier transitions in 3 hours. That's insane.
