Re: database output for multiple snort sensors?

["Ian Macdonald" <secsnort () dirk demon co uk>]

did you give the sensors unique names, you will get that kind of error if
you have multiple sensors logging as the same sensor id. You can check the
information printed by snort on start up to confirm this.
