It WORKS!
For some reason, the Sguil user wasn't added after all. (Wow, Hanashi's a genius! ^_^)
How to fix, if your Sguil user wasn't added and you have the same user/pass on another test machine:
1. procure floppy disk
2. on other test machine-->mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
3. cp /usr/local/src/sguil-0.6.1/server/sguild.users /mnt
4. umount /mnt
5. take floppy from other test machine, and place in regular test machine
6. on regular test machine-->mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
7. cp /mnt/sguild.users /usr/local/src/sguil-0.6.1/server
8. Try to log in to your sensor/db/etc. from your client machine
9. *jump up and down with glee when it all works! promise self to buy genius a drink.*
Honestly, I thought I'd just forgotten to add the proper scoundrels to the mysql database stuff. It didn't even occur to me that the user might have vanished during the installation process.
Living and learning--YAY!
On another interesting note, I heard that that SeaSnUG group was going to try to get the Sourceforge folks to host a happy hour post-meeting at the Gameworks downtown. I mentioned my schedule to the bossman, who generously granted that I don't have to run all the way back to Tacoma and then back to Seattle. I didn't even tell him about the Gameworks post-meet and he said jokingly: "Well, just don't go to Gameworks between meetings--oh, wait, you're going to be doing something that's just as much fun for you as Gameworks for other geeks." ROTFL!
I like my boss. He's so cool. :) He lets me learn and train and have all sorts of intellectual adventures...doesn't yell at me when I absentmindedly save a draft instead of send the first-shift Op the information about a problem with one of our distributors...lets me play with FreeBSD and our current Linux-based IDS...lets me take neat Ethical Hacking classes...and on top of that, has the patience to explain obscure system stuff to me when I'm frustrated and confused about the users' requests.
At this rate, we'll be talking about future career development opportunities in a few weeks! WOOHOO!
Thanks again to #snort-gui for their patience with a randomly curious newbie's questions.
