Re: Snort 1.9, RH 7.3 and Acid

[Addam Schroll <addam () purdue edu>]

The Snort database schema was modified about a month ago in the 1.9
branch.  The DB inserts may be failing when it attempts to mess with the
new last_cid field.  Try upgrading your schema to v106.  That may solve
your problem.  The instructions for upgrading follow.

> From the Changelog:

2002-09-03  Roman Danyliw <roman () danyliw com>

       * src/output-plugin/spo_database.c

         - DB schema v106
         - Added the sensor.last_cid field to the schema so the
           database can store the last used cid for a given sensor.
           This field will ensure that a cid will never be reused.

           Upgrading from v105 -> v106 is as simple as:

           mysql> ALTER TABLE sensor ADD last_cid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL;
           mysql> UPDATE schema SET vseq=106;

            psql> ALTER TABLE sensor ADD last_cid INT8;
            psql> UPDATE schema SET vseq=106;
