Thanks Todd,

That was my next step (moving to 2.8.2). I started modifying code myself but wanted to double check before I went too much down that rat hole... =)

Thanks again...

Wes,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I just tested this on
snort-2.8.1 and snort-2.8.2, and in daemon mode, as you note, it does
not seem to work in snort-2.8.1.  It does seem to work in snort-2.8.2.
I'm not able to track down exactly why yet (just putting a random
printf() call seemed to get it going), but 2.8.2 has some significant
performance improvements, so maybe upgrade to 2.8.2 to take advantage of
that as well.

Thanks,
Todd

This might be a dumb question, but does anyone have snort-2.8.1 working
successfully with --enable-timestats ?

I've got a red-hat box running and it dumps the initial startup and
exiting output to syslog, but once it's going, doesn't dump the hourly
statistical dump.

i've got snort running with the flags:

-g snort -u snort -D -M -y

but no luck. Tried searching through the code and google a bit w/o much
luck... Just wanna verify that someone has it working, or i'm not
missing some stupid option before I dig too much further...
