Honeypots: Re: honeywall cdrom restart problem

[Barrett Weisshaar <bweissha () andrew cmu edu>]

I find this once in a while, but only when I use "reboot" from the 
menu.  If I shutdown -r, it seems to work.  However, with the remote 
interface it doesn't seem to find the main menu when I type "menu" 
(well, under the regular user it does, but not when I su to root, and as 
a regular user it claims I haven't setup anything).
So in short, restarting via the shell seems to work best.  Doing so 
through the menu seems to hang up while trying to kill snort, since all 
I see is the log parsing directly to console (instead of rebooting).  
Hopefully someone else has a better insight on this :)
