Package: snort-mysql Version: 2.7.0-20.4 Severity: normal Trying to setup snort I used a database password that contained a hash. Half an hour of debugging later I found out the hash was rendering the rest of the 'output database: log, mysql....' line a mere comment.
I think there should at least be a warning (maybe I missed it..?) about this somewhere to avoid further grief to any unsuspecting victims. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (700, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages snort-mysql depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcrypt11 1.4.1-1 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.4.2-6+lenny2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libltdl3 1.5.26-4+lenny1 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 MySQL database client library ii libpcap0.8 0.9.8-5 system interface for user-level pa ii libpcre3 7.6-2.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libprelude2 0.9.18.1-1 Hybrid Intrusion Detection System ii libtasn1-3 1.4-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii logrotate 3.7.1-5 Log rotation utility ii rsyslog [system-log-da 3.18.6-4 enhanced multi-threaded syslogd ii snort-common 2.7.0-20.4 flexible Network Intrusion Detecti ii snort-common-libraries 2.7.0-20.4 flexible Network Intrusion Detecti ii snort-rules-default 2.7.0-20.4 flexible Network Intrusion Detecti ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages snort-mysql recommends: ii iproute 20080725-2 networking and traffic control too Versions of packages snort-mysql suggests: pn snort-doc <none> (no description available) -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
