Okay,
This is what I am getting..
This seems weird..
But it must be a PCAP issue....
Thoughts??

Hello

Ok all,
I have searched all the archives, googled this to death and 
I am still 
drawing a blank..
I know I am missing something.
I am running this on a Windows XP, Fresh install, norton AV.
System is running a 2.6 Ghz P4 with 512M RAM..
Started with the Eagle X package.
MySql, ACID it all works great...

sure, but it's old.. at leat update to Snort 2.0.. update will be 
available soon after putting online the new website: 
www.engagesecurity.com


I tried to add Syslog to it and Bingo-- It crashes every 
time it sends 
a message..
I tried to send to an external syslog.. no go. I tried an on Machine 
Syslog.
No go.. System has 3 NICS, and I am using the 2nd NIC.

Snort 2.0 has a broken syslog support (i think.. correct me if 
i should 
be wrong .. but i don't think so)
note that snort always tries to bind the socket to NIC 1! You 
must have 
-s option activated ("Log settings"->"Logging parameters".. Type 
hostname of the syslog server)

I thought maybe it was an issue with Snort 1.9. So I updated 
to Snort 2.0

no .. activate "-s" option AND add an output plugin (syslog output 
plugin) in the output plugin wizard


No go, same problem, but now the snort service won't even start with 
Syslog enabled
There is nothing in the Event log of relevance, the Test of 
the Config 
looks fine.
I can post or email offlist the config file if anyone is willing to 
help me...

Does anyone have any ideas?

Don't bother Chris Reid .. i'm sure he's working on this (or 
perhaps not) ;)

Thanks,
Jim
