Re: running oinkmaster - Error: unable to download.....

[Snortty <cwcwcwg () yahoo com>]

Andreas, Paul, and All,

Here are two things I have tried: 

# oinkmaster.pl -v -o /tmp/rules
Adding file to ignore list: local.rules.
Adding file to ignore list: snort.conf.
Downloading rules archive from
http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-stable.tar.gz...
--15:30:46-- 
http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-stable.tar.gz
           => `/tmp/oinkmaster.1767/snortrules.tar.gz'
Resolving www.snort.org... failed: Host not found.

/usr/local/bin/oinkmaster.pl: Error: unable to
download rules from
http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-stable.tar.gz
(got error code from wget).

Oink, oink. Exiting...
#

# wget -r

-----------------------------------

Do I need to install anything such as web browser
(I.E.) or http software to make it work?

Firewall should not be an issue here, but is there a
way to quick test, such as a http commend to go to the
internet please (I'm really not close to an Unix guy,
so bear with me a little more please)?

Thanks so much.
