[psad-discuss] 2 Questions

Ah cool.

I have one last question: PSAD isn't starting automatically on system 
startup (even though the startup script exists in /etc/init.d/psad).  I 
have it installed on 2 different server boxes and the issue exists on 
both.  The OS's are Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS and PSAD 2.2.3 was compiled 
from source.


I tried adding Ubuntu style startup parameters to the /etc/init.d/psad  
file (see below), but it didn't fix it.


   ### BEGIN INIT INFO
   # Provides:  psad
   # Required-Start:$network
   # Required-Stop: $network
   # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
   # Default-Stop:  0 1 6
   # X-Start-Before:$syslog
   # Short-Description: PSAD (psad)
   # Description:   PSAD (psad) init script
   ### END INIT INFO


Any idea how i can fix this?

This is a minor informational error most likely.  If you are running the
latest release, then psadwatchd is no longer started by default because
process monitoring for a system daemon like psad is best left to other
software.

You can set the ALERTING_METHODS variable in psad.conf to 'noemail' to
disable email alerts (after restarting psad).  Changing the source hostname
for outgoing emails is a function of your MTA, not psad.

Thanks,

How do i fix the error "psad: pid file /var/run/psad/psadwatchd.pid does 
not exist for psadwatchd on HOSTNAME"

Is it possible to disable email alerts for PSAD and if so, how? Also how 
do i change the hostname that emails are sent out as?
