Re: ruletype doesn't work at all ?!

["chlang" <chlang () kimo com>]

thanks for the response, I check it today.

my command line is:
/usr/local/bin/snort -D -c /usr/local/share/snort/snort.conf
no any -A or -s inside.

but after another try, something strange happened, I tried this
configuration
using newer version of snort (/* $Id: snort.c,v 1.90 2001/05/12 20:25:10
roesch Exp $ */)
, it still  not work correctly, but after I switch back to older version.
(Official 1.7)
It works pretty well.

I wonder is there any OS related configuration is needed... (BSD 4.2)
,or just me need some reconfiguration. ^_^

I will try to revert back to "old" fail state, and find out what is wrong
with it.

What are your command line options?  Are any of them overriding the
output facilities defined in your rule type?  -A and -s will do this.
