7.24.5 Events handled by conn_weird_addl

conn_weird_addl (name: string, c: connection, addl: string)
Invoked for a few “weird” events that require an extra (string) argument to help clarify the event. Deficiency: It would likely be very handy if the general “weird” event handling was more flexible, with the ability to have various parameters associated with the events. Doing so will likely have to wait on general Bro mechanism for dealing with default parameters and/or polymorphic functions and event handlers.

conn_weird_addl handles the following events, all of which have a default action of WEIRD_FILE:

bad_ident_reply
A reply from an IDENT server was syntactically invalid.
bad_ident_request
A request to an IDENT server was syntactically invalid.
ident_request_addendum
An IDENT request included additional text beyond that forming the request itself.
