RE: Optimizing Linux Kernel for Snort

["Sam Evans" <sam () neuroflux com>]

to Linux due to some constraints we are running into.  Long story, not a
happy ending.  But, I'll do some searching on your suggested topic.

Thanks for the response!

Yeah, use OpenBSD ;)

just kidding, but don't forget this

<*> Packet socket

See the postings with topics like "Snort dropping packets..."

and using A LOT of memory is the best thing to do.

Have fun,
