you don't need the first output statement

  Subject: [Snort-users] portscans and ACID


  I've been looking through the snort users archive and found plenty of documentation on how to get ACID to see 
portscans.  I've finally got things working, however I'm a little concerned about my solution.  In snort.conf I have 2 
output plugins specified:

  output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=abcdef dbname=snort_db host=localhost 
  output database: alert, mysql, user=snort password=abcdef dbname=snort_db host=localhost (so that ACID can see 
portscans)

  Will having 2 outputs specified adversely affect any data in the MySQL db?
