When I do the command, a file shows up in the folder, but then disappears when I stop SNORT.
"a file"?? what file? what is the name?
It appears when I use snort.conf, it won't save the file.
this sounds like possibly some kind of clean up from your script that executes snort... more info is needed :/

I want to save to a file (pcap format) the traffic that it sees. I know in snort.conf there are some settings, but it does not appears to save the file. When ever I use the snort.conf, it is not saved. The settings are: config logdir: /data/snortlog # pcap output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log The command I'm using to start snort: ./snort -d -b -i dag0:0 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf If I use this, I get a file that tcpdump can read, but no detail packet info. ./snort -d -b -i dag0:0 -l /data/snortlog -L tcpdump.log Attached is the snort.conf. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, John Travlos
