Hi John,

Thanx for the clarification.

Btw, i would like to view the logs properly in my snort box using some 
statistical tools like ACID and SnortSnarf. Is possible to run these tools 
in the same snort box just for testing? I am afraid that it would conflict 
to some snort config files.

Any suggestion?
