Pete,
How does this all effect eWall linked usage?
eWall also has a new version and in the update it is asking if Sniffer
integration is required. My Current version has the two working
together but I am not sure if "their" linkage works off my default
install of Sniffer or if the update will overwrite any changes I make
regarding this latest issue. So in other words, do I have to update
eWall and it's sniffer hooks before making any changes in relation to
Curl as the eWall upgrade will overwrite the Sniffer Installation?
That's a good question. I'll have to get w/ Alex and discuss it.
I don't recall precisely how updates are handled with eWall -- but what
I _think_ that eWall essentially installs SNFServer from our C/S distro
and then uses the update mechanisms that are found there. We haven't
updated that distribution yet.
If you told eWall to use your existing SNF installation then it should
leave that installation alone. eWall connects to SNFServer via our XCI
protocol - so all that is required is to have SNFServer running
somewhere on the system.
In any case -- once that is accomplished (either by you or by the eWall
installer) you can upgrade the getRulebase script and add curl without
any trouble. eWall itself won't notice and doesn't care how SNFServer
updates it's rulebase. The only thing to watch out for is if during and
install or upgrade eWall stomps any part of the SNFServer install -- I'm
not sure if it will or not-- I doubt it.
Best,
