SAMHAIN v3.0.11

  • An option IgnoreModified has been added to cover transient files that not only get added/deleted but also modified during their lifetime.
  • An option KernelCheckProc has been added to suppress the kernel /proc test.
  • Large groups are handled better now.
  • A compile error on HP-UX has been fixed.
  • Reconnecting to a temporarily unavailable Oracle database has been fixed.

Version 2.4.6 of the Beltane II web frontend has been released.
