Greetings:

I was investigating Apache segmentation faults on one of the servers
monitored by ossec 1.3, and found that right before the segmentation
fault was a hack attempt against shtml.dll (a FrontPage component).

I created the following rule in /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml

<group name="apache-custom,">
  <rule id="90100" level="12">
    <if_sid>30101</if_sid>
    <match>shtml.dll</match>
    <description>Possible FrontPage hack attempt</description>
  </rule>
</group>

The "if_sid" is based on "Apache error messages grouped" as this error
occurs in the Apache error log.

Did I write the rule correctly?  Are there any recommended changes?

Thank you.
