Running lrpkg -i LaBrea will not start the program, it will just untar it into its respective directories. No worries there. You should actually be able to edit the package, start it (using 'svi LaBrea start') and be fine. Remember that linux is case sensitive - so keep the caps where they belong every where you need to write it (i.e. syslinux.cfg, lrpkg -i, etc). Just remember to back up your changes. Also make sure the package is actually starting at boot (edit syslinux.cfg to add it).
While it is possible to follow the aforementioned steps and not reboot, if you did something and the box is up for a while, it can be a bit of a gotcha the next time you, or more likely some outside force, brings the box down. So its up to you.

This coming weekend when everybody in the house will not be on the net, I will load up LaBrea and give it a whirl. > Charles' script is much neater than mine - I guess me writing a kludge made > him write one that worked better :) > > S Yes I opted for his example script because I prefer that it writes the entire LaBrea.bpf each time, and in the order it gets written. Suppose it does not matter, but it seems like in order to get to point B (ports) one would have to travel thru point A (IP address). Again, I am not a scripter either so I am not sure. Only thing that I am not quite sure what will happen, is I plan on creating the script (ipupdate), file (LaBrea.in) (LaBrea.tmp was the example you used Simon) and editing lrpkg.cfg to include LaBrea BEFORE I use lrpkg -i LaBrea (mounting the cdrom first obviously) Now it has been awhile since I have used lrpkg -i but I am wondering if that actually loads and starts LaBrea or just makes it availble in memory - waiting to be started from the command line or a reboot? A little nervous about that one. That is if lrpkg -i loads and starts LaBrea, I will have to get into init.d/LaBrea right away, make the changes to options and disable promiscuous mode - do a backup, and reboot quickly. Or at least that is what I am picturing! LOL I have found where someone thought that by doing a lrpkg -i psentry would load psentry but would not start the daemons, so hopefully that is the case with LaBrea! With the help of you and Charles, I should be bringing down AT$T this weekend for sure! J/K Thanks for all your help!
