"Users may opt to manually download and updates rules files, however most Snort users automate the process using PulledPork<http://code.google.com/p/pulledpork/>, an open source perl script. If you plan on using PulledPork to manage VRT Rules updates you'll need to login to snort.org and generate an Oinkcode<http://www.snort.org/account/oinkcode> to properly configure Oinkmaster." Why don't you use PulledPork to update the rules since it seems to be the officially supported method? PHP can shell out to a Perl script in exactly the same way it can shell out to wget. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
