Dear list,
I run bro 2.4.1 in a manager+proxy+worker configuration. When running "broctl status" on the manager, I get:
Error: must run broctl only on manager node
Although I am on the manager node.
This seems to arise from around line 163 in /usr/lib/broctl/BroControl/execute.py, which tries to eliminate the string "addr:" in ifconfig's output.
Unfortunately, the german localized ifconfig output contains "Adresse:", so in my case this prefix does not match "addr:" and is not removed.
Running
LANG= broctl status
makes broctl run as expected.
Just wanted to let you know about it, since it took some time to figure out the problem is l10n related.
Thanks,
Sven
