No, the user snort does not have rights. Do the following at the command prompt: chown snort alert chgrp snort alert This will change the owner and the group of the file so that the snort user can write to it. -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net] On Behalf Of ids () san rr com Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:01 PM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Cc: twig les Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort not logging to the /var/log/snort/alert file Here is what I get when I run a ls -l in the /var/log/snort folder: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1 Mar 24 09:57 alert Does Snort have permissions to write to the alert file?

Do an ll on the file and check the user, group and flag settings. Are these appropriate for the user that snort runs under? Shawn Kottke Datalink Corporationll is an alias used by some shells.
