surfnet IDS installation - Log server (simplified install guide)

Surfnet IDS is kinda like a honeypot system. after trying around the system for the past month, I think that the first ever step towards building the system is to start off with its logserver (based on my experience with a fresh install ubuntu server)

installation guide for the system are provided at surfnet's website.

during installation of the log server, I always face the same problem where the installation fails to connect to PostgreSQL database server. this probably is the result of some bad default configuration files.

after doing some searching, i have found a PostgreSQL installation guide which allows connection to be made to the sql server here.

just follow instructions provided while installing the log server and you should be able to connect to your sql server and finish the installation.

good luck :)
