no reports generated

bro-1.2.1 is now running on a 4.0-release openbsd machine here (thx j-p!) and
generating logs, however i got an empty report email this morning. i mean empty
as in there was no body to the email i received.

when i installed bro, i had to manually add the bro user and change ownership of
some of the directories in its install directory:

# ls -al /usr/local/bro
                                                                               
total 68
drwxr-xr-x 15 root wheel 512 Jan 30 20:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root wheel 512 Jan 30 19:52 ..

drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 30 20:00 lib
drwxr-xr-x 3 bro wheel 3584 Jan 31 03:00 logs
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jan 30 20:05 perl
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 4096 Jan 30 20:05 policy
drwxr-xr-x 2 bro wheel 512 Jan 30 19:52 reports

drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jan 30 19:52 share
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 30 20:05 site
drwxr-xr-x 2 bro wheel 512 Jan 30 21:07 var

perhaps this has something to do with the empty report? i've looked through the
system logs and cannot find anything indicating why the report was not generated.

cluesticking appreciated.

cheers,

Hello Jacob,

I think we've forgotten (in fact myself <g>) something with the process
because it works for me.

Just do the following thing :

cd <source_path>/bro-1.2.1/scripts/perl
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

I think it's the solution or something which is close (we may have to tweak
the perl's conf) but if i remember successfully, it was correct.

Best regards.
