Shaun, It could be two things. You have the wrong password or your mysql snort user isn't allowed access to the snort db from localhost. You should be able to fix both with one command. You need your mysql root password. Assuming your db name is snort and your mysql username is snort and the password is secret, then do something like this from the MySQL system : mysql -u root -p mysql <enter mysql root password> grant select,insert,update,delete on snort.* to 'snort'@'localhost' identified by 'secret'; flush privileges; quit; Randy. -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net]On Behalf Of Shaun Gray Sent: April 19, 2004 3:22 PM To: Harper, Patrick; bryan.irvine () kingcountyjournal com Cc: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] Snot Newb Question Patrick, I am using your write up for the Redhat installation and I followed it exactly. I commented out that particular line and I get this message "Error: database: mysql_error. Access Denied for use: snort@localhost (using password: YES)" When I run "snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf" If I am using the wrong password is there a way to reset this.

Stats and alerts are showing up when I run "snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf". But when I look at ACID no activity shows up.
I have a feeling this is something very simple but, I can't put my finger on it. Can anyone lend some advice on this issue? Thanks, Shaun Gray Network Engineer Medford Township Board of Education
