When I try to start snort with the above command, I get the following error: ERROR: log directory 'log' does not exist Fatal Error, Quitting..
You must specify the full path to the log. In your case: /home/snort/log. The directory must also be readable and writable by the user snort or group since that is the uid and gid you are using. You must also make sure you are logging to mysql only. If you are logging to syslog also, you must create a dev directory containing the log device (just cp it from the /dev directory). In this case you must also start syslogd with the -a /home/snort/dev/log switch.
