Hello,
Bro is searching for a file called "localhost.localdomain.bro" in the
various path defined in your BROPATH environment variable.
So two questions :
Do your file exists somewhere ?
Is it in a directory specied in "BROPATH" ?
Mine is defined as follow into my .bashrc :
export BROPATH=/opt/share/bro/policy
Cheers,
Jean-Philippe.
