I had the same issue with a new sensor being created every time I
restarted.  Try these links, the update worked for me:

Subject: [Snort-users] PureSecure is crazy

Hi,

I tried to find the answer on this mailing-list but nobody seems to have
ran into the same problem as me so I'm gonna explain it in hope somebody
has a solution.

I upgraded from demarc 1.05 to PureSecure 1.6 on a redhat 7.3.
I run snort on ppp0 on one server and the console on another computer.

When I first started, I noticed a sensor I didn't know of. I deleted it
through the console but it keeps coming back with increasing sensor id.
I looked into MySQL but couldn't understand where this sensor comes
from.

Since my psd.conf indicates sensorid =3D 1, I began to think about psd
not
using psd.conf. Another point : if I change snort options in this same
file and I restart psd, it doesn't care about my options and uses the
"-o -N" default.

my psd.conf file is in the place it should be
(/usr/local/puresecure/sensor/conf) and I really don't have a clue where
to start from.

Thanks.

Subject: [Snort-users] Installing Snort on Win 2K

I realize this is a newbie question but I am trying to install Snort 
1.8.5 on a Win2K pro machine on my home network.  and am getting 
problems with finding certain files it looks for ie. Alert.ids, in 
addition when I send it to alertmail.ids it seems happy (satisfied) 
with that but when I test configuration I get a Error msg:

Error:  Openpcap device() open:
                error opening adapter
Fatal error quiting.

Any ideas what causes this and if there is somewhere where I can find 
documentation on installing snort on WIN2K  I seem to be able to find 
a plethora of info for flavors of unices.

Ronneil,

Are you really sure you have Sendmail installed?

Subject: [Snort-users] Problem emailing alerts from ACID


Using SNORT 1.8.6 w/ ACID 0.9.6b21 running on RedHat 7.2.

Upon attempting to email summary of events from ACID, I get 
the following
error:

"EXPORT ERROR: Could not send exported alerts to 
'paulb () cta com'. Check the
mail configuration in PHP.

Successful EXPORT-summary - 5 alert(s)"


I have checked the /usr/local/lib/php.ini file and verified:

sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i'

However, I still cannot email the events.  Any suggestions?

What about sending mail from within the console of your ids box using
mail command?
What o.s. are you running?

Neil
