[Bro] Just getting started

[Paul Schmehl]

I just installed Bro (on FreeBSD 8.3) and got it up and running. I'm 
working my way through the docs, and I decided to do the local.bro edit for 
the Invalid SSL Certs that's described in the docs.

However, when I launched broctl and typed check, I got this:  waiting for 
lock ..................................cannot get lock

I got the same thing when I typed stop as well as diag.

When I started broctl initially, I typed "install" and then "start".  Then 
I closed broctl.  Apparently you're supposed to leave broctl running?  If 
so, that seems rather inconvenient.
