Re: Autosnort updates and expanded OS support

[Tony Robinson <deusexmachina667 () gmail com>]

Hi folks,

I don't know if this is considered thread necromancy... but I wanted to
post a quick update to the snort mailing list in that I have scratched off
item 1 of "in the works" list below -- There is now a build of autosnort to
support 32 and 64-bit Debian users.

As always, the code is available via the autosnort github, and there is a
new blog post on the autosnort blog.

Happy snorting!

Regards,

DA
