Currently SISC's slib bindings call SISC's DETECT-OS function. This is the only place (other than possible user code) where DETECT-0S is used. The problem is twofold: 1) It's also not at all clear what the legal values are the slib expects - the only way to find that out, it appears, is to grep through the slib source, which is subject to change. 2) DETECT-OS analyses the value of the Java os.name system property. There does not appear to be any definitive list anywhere of what the legal values for that property are. So in order to get SISC's slib integration to work across multiple platforms we are left in the unfortunate situation of having to map one unknown set of data to another unknown set of data. These issues came up when SISC was run on a sunos box - the os.name was not a value recognized by DETECT-OS. Chances are there are quite a few other OSes where SISC would encounter similar problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379534&aid=781779&group_id=23735 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
