Has anyone else had problems installing this?

Please search this forum for posts concerning Portsentry and why you should not use it. Instead use Snort (with third party apps like Guardian), or something like PSAD, Scandetd or alike if you don't want or need IDS capabilities.

UnSpawn, thanks for the info.

The box I wanted to install PortSentry on has too much running on it for and IDS as comprehensive as Snort, but PSAD looks like its perfect.
