Re: config quiet not working

["Lee Clemens" <snort () leeclemens net>]

That does seem to be the behavior I am seeing, but the manual shows "config
quiet" and "snort -q" as being the same.

Maybe the documentation should not show these two as equivalent?  (I will
test again on another environment on Monday, I thought config quiet got rid
of the message below as well and -q was not necessary, but I need to
confirm).

IIRC the snort.conf is loaded after a bunch of subsystems initialize,
once it's loaded Snort should be quiet but until then the switch
hasn't been set. If you want quiet-mode from the get go use the -q
switch.
