Hehe, that's the wierd thing. Ping localhost works, and my /etc/hosts is up to date? Running Mandrake 9.2, been using *nix for the last 6 years and never seen this before?

Not quite, it would appear.
Here's what I did:
[snip]
- modified the database connection properties in snort.con to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
This means that your OS isn't resolving localhost, which it should do. I don't know what OS you're using, but there is usually a conf file in /etc (usually "hosts") that allows you to define 127.0.0.1 as localhost, and you should definitely do that. Since you mention /etc/init.d/ I'm going to assume you're using some form of Linux. You should have a hosts file in /etc with the following line in it: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.{domain} (where {domain} is whatever domain you are in. For example, my RedHat box has: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.utdallas.edu Paul Schmehl (pauls () utdallas edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/ ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
