i use ubuntu 10.4and i installed the honeyd running this command line apt-get install honeyd.
when i write whereis honeyd the answer is

Code:

honeyd: /usr/bin/honeyd /usr/lib/honeyd /usr/include/honeyd /usr/share/honeyd /usr/share/man/man8/honeyd.8.gz

im trying to start it but im not sure in which path should i write the command lines. cause when i tried this
./honeyd -f config.sample 10.0.0.0/8
bash: ./honeyd: No such file or directory

After i typed

Code:

root@dan-laptop:/# honeyd -f config.sample 10.0.0.0/8

A question though.... "im lost i dont know what to do and how to work with it." If you are going to ask that, then why did you install it in the first place?

Cheers,

Are you sure your config.sample file is located in / as your current directory seems /.
Give the full path in the command to config.sample file and also run it in debugging mode under sorted out.
