Daniel,

Thanks for integrating them into the project. I've downloaded and installed
the latest snapshot. I've also renamed my local_decoder.xml file so it
wouldn't be included. I verified that the new decoder.xml file did have your
decoders.

Ossec is not able to decode the logs with the decoders you created. I tested
this via the ossec-logtest utility. When I enable my decoders, it works fine
with the new rules file you created. I'm short on time this AM and can't
troubleshoot much more at the moment. I'll see what I can do with it this
afternoon or over the weekend.

Thanks again,

phishphreek
