I run an redhat 8x system and installed SA the other day via CPAN. I didn't know what CPAN was at the time but it was the only obvious installation instructions I could find, so I followed them and it all seems to be working well.
Now as I look more closely at CPAN I now see it's a perl replacement (or at least I think it is) for the RPM method. Bearing in mind the comments on whether or not RH will release another non-commerical version, I'm wondering if sticking with the CPAN installation is a better idea than pulling everything out and going back to compiling my own RPM and installing that way. This is probably an open question but I'm wondering what others opinions are? I'm not sure I like having two completely different software distribution mechanisms on my machine, but I'm also concerned that RPM's and RH may go away in the near future. Lastly, I think SA is absolutely great so far, but I do find there is a lack of material explaining how to configure it, how to alter it's default config, flags for the local.rc for enabling/disabling features (RBL's for instance), teaching your filters, dealing with false positives (none so far!), logging, what are "evil rules" and general management. I'm finding a lot by simply reading this list, but I wonder if I'm simply looking in the wrong places? Any help or thoughts are appreciated.
