is there any processor-dependency to sa-compile?
as long as my
SA-version
included rulesets
enabled plugins
are the SAME from arch/OS to arch/OS, is it OK to simply compile rules
once somewhere, and push them to each box?
or, *is* there some sort of processor/architecture, or other
environmental, depdency that throws a wrench into the works?
thanks!

yeah, probably right ... worth a look-see, though.
(or, i should simply build that 16-core Opteron box and be done with it ...)

thanks.
cheers!

likely depends on choices of compile-time optimization, i think.
need to read up, and check if/what presumptions are made by sa-compile process.
i've cross-compiled across different arch's within a CPU family
before, so that's not an issue. i've *not* done so across different
CPUs (e.g., PPC vs x86), so that'll need some investigation.
assuming 'all that' gets ironed out, is it sufficient to simply 'push'
the "/compiled" dir's contents to each box -- with a HUP of SA, i'd
guess? or does each SA instance need to be otherwise 'informed' of
the presence/change of compiled rules/files?
thanks!
