Bob created BIT-1091: ------------------------ Summary: Broctl config.py handling of [manager] header is brittle Key: BIT-1091 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1091 Project: Bro Issue Tracker Issue Type: Problem Components: BroControl Affects Versions: 2.2 Environment: RHEL6 Reporter: Bob
$prefix/lib/broctl/BroControl/config.py (line 159, in nodes()) special cases the manager node of the etc/node.cfg config and checks it by the attribute n.name, as opposed to all of the other types that are handled earlier in the function, which get checked by the attribute n.type. This means that anyone who might try to set a more descriptive manager name, like [broproductionmanager] or [brotestmanager], will break broctl to disastrous effect: [root@bro-testmgr bro-2.2-beta]# /opt/bro/bin/broctl install removing old policies in /var/bro/spool/installed-scripts-do-not-touch/site ... done. removing old policies in /var/bro/spool/installed-scripts-do-not-touch/auto ... done. creating policy directories ... done. installing site policies ... done. generating local-networks.bro ... done.

This should be cleaned up to make this field user-modifiable as the others are, or at the very least we should implement a warning to users that they should not change the name of the field. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1-OD-09-WN#6144) _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
