I've setup snort, modified the snort.conf, have it running, but, reading the FAQ I've got a few questions. 1. What is the difference in running snortd vice snort w/cl parameters? 2. Reading the FAQ it states to start snort with snort -A full -c snort.conf then in the next line it states: Note that the default output mode (-A full) of snort should not be used except in very controlled environments. It is the slowest way to run snort and presents several hard to recover from problems with inode creation on filesystems. So, if this causes problems, how then should snort be started? 3. I run no servers on my box. I've set it up in the belief that if would compliment my firewall. If my firewall is working sufficiently in my opinion, then do I even need to run an IDS? I apologize in advance for the seemingly "dumb newbie questions" -- Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
