Re: problems updating rules with oinkmaster

As far as I know the 2_1 rules hasn't been updated lately, so if
Oinkmaster keeps telling you nothing has changed it's probably right and 
everything works as expected.

If you however see a cvs commit for the rules you use but don't see any 
update with Oinkmaster within a couple of days (sourceforge delay), then 
there is a real problem. That's not likely to be the case here thought.

(btw, you should never run Oinkmaster as root)

I am running Snort 2.1.0 and Oinkmaster 0.9 my rules were updating fine, but 
recently I do not seem to be getting any new rules when I attempt to update 
them.  I have pasted what I get when I run the update script.  Any ideas?  
Thanks!

[root@localhost bin]# perl oinkmaster.pl -o /etc/snort/

    None.
