Re: Starting Snort at Boot Up

[Alwin Raymundo <alrayworld () yahoo com>]

Hi Nathanael

If I'm not mistaken the mysql.sock (2) is regarding
authentication with mysql.  I remember that if you
dont supply the password,correct password, in the
snort.conf  

or 

Granting the access to the snort table of mysql

I hope this will help :-)
