It looks like your snort.conf is looking for your reference.config file and it can't find it. Looks like you wrote "/user/local" instead of "/usr/local" Maybe a typo? Joel On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 9:03 AM, Atkins, Dwane P <ATKINSD () uthscsa edu>wrote:
When I ran the /usr/local/snort/bib/snort –D –u snort –g snort –c /usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf –I eth1, packets started processing. This is the same command I have in the RC.LOCAL. However, I did receive the following error: ERROR: Unable to open Reference file '/user/local/snort/etc/reference.config' (No such file or directory) And something just isn't right. When I go to web into http://10.10.10.10/snortreport-1.3.1/alerts.php, it does not appear to want to speak. I know these are an awful lot of questions. I was reading a book on snort last night hoping to find some answers. I am still looking for the perfect management console. I do not want to purchase an appliance or anything and we have limited financial resources but I would like a management console where we can manage multiple sensor, do some reporting and also manage events, such as deleting them and marking them as low priority or do not trigger. Is there something like this out there? Thanks for all your help.

Just looks like Barnyard is running, not Snort. -- Sent from my iPhone Skype:eslerjoel On Jan 13, 2011, at 8:17 AM, "Atkins, Dwane P" <ATKINSD () uthscsa edu> wrote: It shows it trying to load?

I have a pretty decent hard drive on it and more if I need to do LVM. However, when I try to use the http://snortbox/snortreport-1.3.1/alerts.php, it will not view. So I look to see if I am actually logging packets and I go to /var/log/snort and I see the barnyard2.waldo has not been updated in almost 17 hours and that snort.u2.12$$$$$$ has not been up dates sfor 17 hours either. This is the busiest Vlan on campus and I am sure will always be updated. My questions are, 1.) How do I ensure that the logging continues? What does it stop like that? And--- 2.) Is there a reporting tool that is more reliable for me than SnortReports and if so, what do you all recommedn and is tehre install instructions for both installation and extrapulating the proper traffic from the Snort Sensors.?
