Hello, i'm using snort in dialup mode (= starting snort when internet connection established). Up to now i'm using snort 1.8. Now i made a upgrade to 2.0. This version (in standard configuration) is a "overkill" for my router (P166, 32MB, 64MB swap). It uses my full swap and requires ~1min to start up. So i use the "config detection: search-method lowmem" in snort.conf. Great, my router loves me again! No swap and starting time as i know it from 1.8 version. Now my question is (i not found something in docu or faq): Does this switch anything "negative" in detection/reporting?
It should identical but slower than the normal modes. -- Chris Green <cmg () sourcefire com> Chicken's thinkin' ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
