A change was made in psad to be more efficient about how it deals with syslog messages, and this was done after the book was released. In recent versions of psad, syslog messages are parsed directly from whatever file your syslog daemon writes iptables logs to. On Ubuntu systems this is usually /var/log/syslog, but other locations are possible too like /var/log/messages. If you want psad to also build the /var/log/psad/fwdata file in addition to reading syslog data from /var/log/syslog, then just set: IPT_WRITE_FWDATA Y; --Mike > any help will be highly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Myk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
