Re: Problems compiling SnortSam on OpenBSD

[ML mail <mlnospam () yahoo com>]

The "problem" here is that my snort IDS/IPS (Linux) is not on the same physical machine as the firewall (OpenBSD). As 
such I need at least the snortsam agent running on my firewall (what I am trying to compile here) in order to establish 
a communication between the IPS and firewall. 

So as it is true that I could use the very latest Barnyard2 with snortsam capability built in, I would still require on 
the firewall side a snortsam agent. That's so far from my understanding. Maybe I missed something here? or do you have 
an alternative solution? 

Best regards,
ML

I recommend using the latest git version of barnyard2 which has snortsam capability built in.  Support for SnortSam 
compiled directly into Snort hasn't been done in a long time I believe.
