Hello,

Do you use the last version of Bro ?  
Bro since version 1.3 is working perfectly with OpenBSD (on  
last stable : 4.1 and -current).

Could you give us some logs about errors ?

Best regards,

Jean-philippe.

Hello,

It's "normal" you run in trouble with 1.2 ...  
Even if i already made OpenBSD working with this version, we needed to modify  
Bro's code so i suggest you move up to the last release of the IDS.

There's another advantage to use OpenBSD with version 1.3, you have the  
DNS non blocking feature (if you installed the "libbind" package).

Best regards,

Jean-philippe.
