Hello, I seem to be having a problem setting up snort to use MySQL database. When I run 'snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf' I get the following: =================================================== Running in IDS mode Log directory = /var/log/snort Initializing Network Interface eth0 --== Initializing Snort ==-- Initializing Output Plugins! Decoding Ethernet on interface eth0 Initializing Preprocessors! Initializing Plug-ins! Parsing Rules file /etc/snort/snort.conf +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Initializing rule chains... database: compiled support for ( MySQL ) database: configured to use MySQL database: user = snort database: database name = snort database: host = localhost database: sensor name = 192.168.1.100 ERROR: database: MySQL_error: Access denied for user: 'snort@localhost' (Using password: NO) Fatal Error, Quitting.. =================================================== snort.conf has the following entry: =================================================== output database: log, MySQL, user=snort, password=******** dbname=snort host=localhost =================================================== MySQL was setup using this line for snort: =================================================== grant INSERT,SELECT on root.* to snort@localhost; SET PASSWORD FOR snort@localhost=PASSOWRD('********'); grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort@localhost; grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort; =================================================== This was a step by step guide I had followed to set this up. I'm hoping someone might be able to see what I'm missing. Thnx -- Regards Robert Smile.....
