CNY HEX - ipaudit & ipaudit-web ?

[James]

I am new to BSD and Hex distribution and have got ntop and darkstat
working. Am pleased with the dirtribution thus far but I really
wanted Hex for ipaudit and I haven't got this to work yet.

I am falling at the first hurdle. When I enter "ipaudit xl0" I get
the following error:
ipaudit: Trouble opeining <su> , msg="(no devices found) /dev/bpf2:
permission denied"

I have created an ipaudit user using adduser command.
I have tried cd /dev then .MAKEDEV bpf2 but I get an error MAKEDEV
command not found.
Also tried the above as su.

Any other ideas?

Also has anyone got ipaudit-web working on hex? I know it is not
present by default but it does ./configure OK. But until I get the
basic ipaudit bit working I am leaving this at that. In the meantime
can anyone confirm whether apache is mandatory or can it use another
webserver? Whats the easiest way to install apache on Hex if I need
to do this?

thanks

James

Hi James,

It is recommended that you install ipaudit from the FreeBSD ports as it contains patches for ipaudit to be used under FreeBSD.

cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/ipaudit; make; make install

A good reference for The FreeBSD ports could be found here.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports.html

FreeBSD 5.x and later (Hex 1.x is based on FreeBSD 6) no longer use MAKEDEV script; they use devfs, which makes device nodes for every device that has a driver available. Check out devfs manpage for details. If you insist on manual setting, you can try "mknod".

As for ipaudit-web, it's still beta version and I have not tried it.
