Re: [Snorting 2 NICs]

I installed Snort with four NIC without problem. I
also get warning "...no IPv4 address assigned.."
however Snort was snorting :o]

Greetings Group,

I have Snort running into MySQL. I use ACID to view
alerts. Snort works fine 
when started as: snort -c
/usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -D but this 
is my internal interface. When fired up for eth1 (IP
address ppp0) I get this 
in /var/log/messages:

WARNING: OpenPcap() device eth1 network lookup:
^Ieth1: no Ipv4 address 
assigned
Initializing daemon mode
WARNING: OpenPcap() device eth1 network lookup:
^Ieth1: no Ipv4 address 
assigned
PID stat checked out ok, PID set to /var/run
Writing PID file to "/var/run"
Snort initialization completed successfully, Snort
running

Obviously Snort sees no traffic whatsoever. Is there
anyway to initialize 
Snort with two sensors, eth0 and ppp0?

This is on a tutorial HOME_NET, with a Linux gateway
machine and two other 
boxes inside, one Linux and one Win. I'd like to
continue monitoring the 
internal due to the Win box. I have mulled over the
excellent documentation 
for setting the whole thing up, thanks to everyone
involved. I just haven't 
found an answer to this type of setup yet.

Thanks for any clues,
