Mark,How did you install Snort? I recently installed it from RPM on Fedora Core 3, and it was definitely logging messages to /var/log/messages.
Also, what user are you running Snort as? If that user doesn't have write permissions on /var/log/messages, that could be an issue. That's especially true if you're starting it from a non-root account like "mark" and then suid'ing to, say, the user "snort" -- if you start Snort from a root shell and have it suid over, you might at least get error messages written out before it suid's.

Hi All,when snort gives errors at startup during boot it doesn't write to either /var/log/boot.log or /var/log/messages. Where can I find the error messages.? I'm using Fedora3.
