would anyone know how to get the rules database working with IDScenter on NT
4.0 using Snort 1.7? I have everything configured, except when I compile it
IDScenter complains with error message Unknown rule type:.

Yes I was running with the -u and -g switch.  I changed to owner/group to
those specified by these switches.

Thanks for the insight.

If the directory doesn't exist, create it with

mkdir -p /var/log/snort

If you're running snort as root try root:root and 700.

chown -R root /var/log/snort
chgrp -R root /var/log/snort
chmod 700 /var/log/snort

If you're running snort as a different user (with the -u switch when
starting snort) then you will need to have the directory owned by
that user.

 Chris.

What should the permissions and owner/group of the /var/log/snort
directory?

If keep getting FATAL ERROR: ERROR: OpenLogFile() =>
mkdir(/var/log/snort/xx.xxx.xxx.xx) log directory: Permission denied and
then snort dies.

TIA
