Hey all. I upgraded to 1.8.1 and now it's not logging
ANYTHING. I left it running in daemon mode with no
logs for a week. I tried running out of daemon mode
and got:

# /usr/local/bin/snort -A fast -i ppp0 -l
/var/log/snortl
ogs -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
Log directory = /var/log/snortlogs

After a few minutes, closing snort looks like:
Breakdown by protocol:                Action Stats:
    TCP: 552        (99.639%)         ALERTS: 0
    UDP: 2          (0.361%)          LOGGED: 0

My config looks like:
 var HOME_NET $ppp0_ADDRESS
var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET
var SMTP $HOME_NET
var HTTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET
var SQL_SERVERS $HOME_NET
var DNS_SERVERS $HOME_NET

and I have all includes except:
# include shellcode.rules
# include policy.rules
# include info.rules
# include icmp-info.rules
# include virus.rules

I'm running Solaris 8 x86 MU5, RP-PPPoE, IPFilter
3.4.20, Snort 1.8.1

Thanks all,
Phil
