Description Alex George 2002-02-12 07:10:00 UTC

The ACID (www.cert.org/kb/acid) port (ports/security/acid) is over 1 year old.  FreeBSD.org lists ACID as Maintained by: foxfair@FreeBSD.org so i sent an e-mail reporting this situation and it bounced.  The version included in the ports does not properly integrate with MySQL, and has been substantially revised in current releases

Fix: 

fetch the most recent ACID source http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~rdanyliw/snort/acid-0.9.6b20.tar.gz
I tested a full integration with FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE #0, apache-1.3.23, mod_php4-4.1.1, mysql-server-3.23.48, snort-1.8.3, and acid-0.9.6b20 (plus dependencies).  The combination runs without problems.  

Simply follow the Installation and Configuration guide on the ACID site to get this frontend up.

In short, ACID is just a collection of .php files.  Once prerequisites are met, the 'install' consists of expanding the files and moving them to the www/data.default/ directory.  Edit acid_conf.php and you're good to go.  So this fix should be trivial.
How-To-Repeat: 'cat /usr/ports/security/acid/distinfo'  and notice that 0.9.6b1 01/21/2001 is ~20 revisions and ~13 months older then 0.9.6b20 02/05/2002.

You'll have a better chance if you submit an actual patch as a followup to
