new user - snort is not droping pacekts

[<lokesh.khanna () accelonafrica com>]

Hi

 

I have just installed Snort 2.3.0RC2 on Enterprise Redhat with ACID.

I am using webmin to manage rules. I have used Manhunt and Real Secure
before. I am using snort 1st time. 

I can see lots of Alert in ACID Console. But I do not understand how
Snort will drop the packet if it is matching any rule.

In Real Secure I used to define action for each rule. How can I do same
here?

Is there any other tool to manage rules?

 

Thanks in advance
