Hi,

you're not alone - I was a bit confused, too.

Being curious, I did the following:

Downloaded the newer tarball from here, hoping it would be the right one:
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/guardian-2.0-002.i586.tar.gz

Downloaded the 'dependencies' from here:
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/i586/perl-Net-IP-1.26-1.ipfire
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/i586/perl-common-sense-3.74-1.ipfire
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/i586/perl-inotify2-1.22-1.ipfire

Unpacked the tarball and the three pakfire-archives and got it installed
on my testmachine (offline).

Hint:
Take a 'close* look at the 'user:group'-rights. ;-)

I don't know how Stefan created the 'tarball', but most of the files in
it had 'samba:samba' assignments, even the symlinks (for these I used
'chown -h root:root' ...).

The original archive looks like this:

...
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 16 18:04 web
[root(a)ipfiretest srv]# cd web
[root(a)ipfiretest web]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 samba samba 4096 Jul  4 11:03 ipfire
[root(a)ipfiretest web]# cd ipfire
[root(a)ipfiretest ipfire]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 16 18:04 cgi-bin
[root(a)ipfiretest ipfire]# cd cgi-bin/
[root(a)ipfiretest cgi-bin]# ls -l
total 64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 samba samba 37174 Jul 14 14:51 guardian.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 samba samba 23201 Oct 22  2014 ids.cgi
...

The whole thing is still offline, GUI seems to work, I can start/stop
'guardian' and edit the 'ignore'-list.
But I'd like to hear something like "That was ok, go for it...", before
I put this in production. ;-)

HTH,
Matthias
