[Bro] Bro 2.2 File Extraction (RHEL 6.5)

Hey Bro List,



 I'm trying to setup the File Extraction using Bro 2.2 on a RHEL 6.5

 system and its not functioning properly (no files are being extracted

 from the pcap).



 Here is what I've tried:



 I put whatever.bro into the directory:

 /opt/bro/share/bro/site

 I edited "local.bro" and told it to "load whatever.bro"

 I verified all configuration syntax: broctl check

 I addressed any errors (none)

 I install the script: broctl install

 Then bounced bro: broctl restart


 To test the bro file extraction capabilities, my "whatever.bro" scrip

 contains the following:

 -----------START

 #This produces logs only, no extracted files

     event file_new(f: fa_file)

     {

         Files::add_analyzer(f, Files::ANALYZER_EXTRACT);

     }

 -----------END



 My (produced from tcpdump) pcap contains a five minute section of

 traffic where I downloaded a few hp printer drivers to test. Wireshark

 was able to extract the files, so we know the pcap file integrity is good.

 I ran this on command line to have Bro extract the hp printer driver

 files from same pcap file:



 bro -C -r my_pcap_file



 Logs are produced in the pwd, but no extracted files.





 Any ideas?
