RE: snort-mysql db installation and use

[<patrick () internetsecurityguru com>]

You can look at the mysql setup portion of the CentOS install doc on the
sonrt.org website.  It has step by step that covers setting up the DB for
use with snort and goes on to cover the install and config of BASE.  It uses
the source to install snort but not too much is different after the install
as far as mysql is concerned

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] snort-mysql db installation and use

I have tried to find information online, and even in the huge mysql book I
have and am still confused.  I am inexperience with MySQL, so if these
questions sound a little trivial, forgive me.  I  I installed the rpm
binaries for snort and snort-myslq from snort.org.  I am confused in how to
run and communicate with MySQL.  The snort-mysql.rpm seems to not install
the client and server, but just the MySql library in /sbin (I guess assuming
snort is exclusively the only program to use it)?  How do connect to and run
mysql?  I still need to set up username/psswd, snort tables, etc right, or
is that predefined in the rpm?  If nothing needs to be done to set up the db
and it just automatically starts up and works with Snort, how do I access it
to view the logs?
 
thanks
