Just to clarify, because under most systems with a separate /var partition (the BSD default install included), this directory is on the smaller size, and has an inode count to match.

How can I change this directory? Under FreeBSD I've tried a symlink from /usr/local/var/log/snort to /var/log/snort but it looks like that's blown away and replaced by a real directory at snort startup.I'm less thrilled by the idea of moving all of /var/log under /usr to fix this.Is there a config file I can tweak to handle this?http://www.snort.org/docs/snort_htmanuals/htmanual_233/node10.htmlAlso, I figure I can clean out the directory with a periodic cron tab (every five minutes)find / -atime +1h -delete Will this break things?no-Dan -- "A single death is a tragedy.
