RE: Corrupt Snort Logging - Win32 Terminal Server 2000

Michael,

Try this for strange.  I tried stopping snort, uninstalling it and it
failed to delete the executable.  I manually tried to delete it and it
said that it was in use.  I checked this and no process seemed to have a
lock on on it - I even used Active Ports to see if anything had failed
and was still using it via a socket and nothing.  I could rename it
though.....?  Anyway, I reinstalled it and it complained about Winpcap
so I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled everything and still no
joy.  Finally I reinstalled Winpcap one more time over the top and snort
decided to start again - with the same logging errors!

The server is less than a year old and has more than 512mb of RAM I am
sure (not my server).  I have not tried changing any components yet and
it logs to a test file only.  Pretty simple install really.  Just a note
it will run just fine during the night time it's during the day that it
seems to go crazy.  I'm still lost on this one!

:)

That's bazaar... Have you tried rebooting? I know you hate too, It's been
214 days without a reboot on mine, not a record yet but getting there. How
much memory do you have? When did this start to happen? Was any changes made
just before it started to do this? Have you restarted the database? Have you
tried to start the log over? Have you updated your NIC drivers? Have you
tried to switch out your memory modules? Have you tried to switch out your
NIC? Have you..... :)
