Just want to make sure that I got it right:
In Toronto there is a snort machine that hosts mysql database.In ottawa
there is a snort machine that monitors their firewall.So you say that it is
possible to configure snort in ottawa to send updates to toronto database
without logging it locally on ottawa, is that right?
Could you tell me which line I should place in Ottawa's snort.conf to send
traffic to Toronto's centralized mysql database?

P.S. What is the meaning of Win32 front end here? Clent that runs remotely?
(Cleant part, but not the whole snort installation?)
thx.

Yes, by logging to a central database (you could also use the win32 front
end I wrote :) ).  I am not sure if you could use the SSL mysql option if
you are concerned about the data going across the wire.  I used Stunnel -
it
allows you to set up to deamons and forward traffic between them.  I have
the snort sensor configured to send alerts to the localhost on a unused
port, this in turn forwards via a SSL tunnel to the database server, and
that deamon unwraps the "package" and send it to the localhost on the
mysql
port.

There is also the option to run some of the perl scripts available to grap
the alert file(s) every so often and merge them - then run snortsnarf to
create reports.  This is really only good if you only want to check the
remote sensors once or twice a day

Have snort log to a database.

You can do this with a nice web interface in Demarc and ACID.

I run snort in our local office but we would like to try it for a

other branches. Is it possible in some way to conifugre snort to
monitor
remte sensors, like here in Toronto I would have a central console or
datatbase repository for the sensors running in Ottawa and Calgary?
