Missed Tuesday's SUG meeting

Yes, I missed it. The Seattle Snort Users' Group meeting was on Tuesday, and I did not have permission to go. Wanted to, though.

I think I maybe understand why Riffraff and Nessie were having such problems with dangling pointers--I believe something didn't install properly off the script. That would explain why I've had to add the sguil user again AND why the system, even when it's got all the components up, won't let Magenta talk to it (whether Riffraff or Nessie).

Before, it would give dangling pointer errors after a time--usually 8 to 12 hours post-startup. It's been over 48 hours and Nessie is still up and running. Logging packets, too.

Perhaps it's time to learn more about scripting, so I can maybe improve these scripts to throw errors when something doesn't work as expected...?
