I had a similar issue with Postgres last week, it was known and fixed in CVS. Although no one replied to my mail to tell me this.. Grab the current CVS snapshot and take a look-see in the changelog. /eli
I am having trouble getting Snort to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Config: RedHat 8.0 Snort 1.9.0 MySQL 3.23.53a I created a user with all the rights to try and make sure that it would work: mysql -u root -p{password} snort mysql> grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort@localhost; I checked the database and made sure that the "sensor" table exists. I try to start Snort: /etc/snort# snort -d -c ./snort.conf The following is the error I am receiving: Initializing Output Plugins! Log directory = /var/log/snort Initializing Network Interface eth0 --== Initializing Snort ==-- Decoding Ethernet on interface eth0 Initializing Preprocessors! Initializing Plug-ins!

If the sensor id is not found, the plugin will run an INSERT query to insert the proper data and generate a new sensor id. Then a SELECT query is run to get the newly allocated sensor id. If that fails then this error message is generated. Some possible causes for this error are: * the user does not have proper INSERT or SELECT privileges * the sensor table does not exist If you are _absolutely_ certain that you have the proper privileges set and that your database structure is built properly please let me know if you continue to get this error. You can contact me at (roman () danyliw com). Fatal Error, Quitting.. Thanks, Chris
