Because the installed perl was older than required when a colleague  
installed BRO, the scripts did not go in correctly. After a bit of  
fiddling with the system I finally appear to have gotten everything  
taken care of but the site-report.pl script. The script itself  
appears to run, however all I get is an email that says:

report-range + report-start exceeds the current time  
exiting program

Does anyone know if there is an easy way of fixing this? I already  
tried reinstalling the script from the src tree (it was necessary to  
get it running after upgrading perl).

Thank you,

John

Is the problem seen when running it manually? from cron?  
the script usually complains like this when the total time range asked  
for extends beyond the current time.

The error message is only received if the script is run out of  
cron. If I run it manually, I don't get anything though there is a  
rpt file generated, however, it only has the connection log summary.

Thanks,

John
