I scanned through the document and found it to be good overall. I do have just a few comments. 1) The default value for required_score is 5, not 8. 2) I highly recommend enabling DCC and Razor2. 3) This may be a difference between FreeBSD and CentOS, but sa-update ran just fine for me with no other arguments. 4) Since this is meant to be a howto, you might want to mention that sa-update will frequently fail on the first attempt leaving a crippled SA install. A second attempt will download the rules properly. (or has this problem been fixed now?) 5) Also, the rule files from sa-update have a minor problem with a variable not being set properly. To fix this, you should specify report_contact in your local.cf file. Apart from these minor points, it is a good howto. I'm sure it will come in handy for new users. Is there a place on the wiki for posting links to howto documents? -- Bowie
