milter-greylist and p0f - integration with Solaris

2014-02-09 by Jim Klimov

Hello all,

   FYI: for milter-greylist users who (want to) use p0f fingerprinting
and run under a Solaris-based OS.

   Over the past year I've applied assorted changes to p0f-3.06b in
order to enable its builds on Solaris 10 and OpenIndiana, as well as
integration with Solaris Service Management Framework (for further
integration with our relays' milter-greylist based antispam solution).
I've also hit a bug with the API connections not being closed after
the p0f-client disconnection, causing the failure of the p0f daemon
and/or its clients (milter-greylist) upon exhaustion of some resource.

   My research and discussion of these problems has been tracked on
the milter-greylist mailing list, and some of the patches were also
posted here... partially due to my laziness ;)

   I've unsuccesfully tried to post the changes to the original project 
author, but got no replies to any posts during the last year), and
ultimately decided to publish my fixes in an orderly bunch by forking
the repository which I've found at GitHub: https://github.com/p0f/p0f.
So the Solaris users who want p0f-3.06b can use my fork for now:
   https://github.com/jimklimov/p0f

   Still, I'd love to see this upstreamed someday, so that the vanilla
p0f (say, 3.06c?) can just work under Solaris :)

Thanks,
//Jim Klimov
