Neil, re the above link to Suricata Intrusion Detection and Prevention Engine for Linux Available for Download

I know you dabble in Linux, I'd like to ask this; can this be added via the Package Centre Synology NAS box? Can the sudo command line be used?

The Synology box I have is a server and store, runs DSM 5.0. in Raid 0, 2 x 3tb Seagate Barracuda sata 7200 (tomorrow upgrade from 2 x 2tb 5400). Reason is, I want to create a download folder for tgigeeeks of trusted clean .exe files. Direct downloads.

The box is set as a web server, always on with multiple shared folders but not shared on our site yet.

I know I can direct link as a web server but I would like the extra security.

Mike

Ok let's break things down a little;

can this be added via the Package Centre?

Yes

can this be added via the Package Centre Synology NAS box?

I don't know for sure as I've never tried it but, it should be possible. (any issues with getting the package to run may be helped by going into the package centre and selecting the 'Action' button and clicking run. Sometimes it can cause play issues so this usually cures things.)

Can the sudo command line be used?

Yes.
