Sensor agent in SnortCenter

[David Powell <dpowell () herbalife com>]

Anybody using SnortCenter?  

Strange issue, not SnortCenter related actually so anyone may have had this
issue before.  

I've setup my output plug-in correctly because I've got two other sensors
working fine.  

The third sensor I'm attempting to add is giving me a mysql connection
error.  I've made this sensor just like the rest.  

I can get SnortCenter to connect the sensor and push rules to the sensor
just fine but when I try to start the sensor I get this message;

IP's and names have been changed of course,
All three sensors are inside network sensors.  No outside interfaces.

Current config file error:
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort
