[Fwd: Re: No output to ACID]

Hi,

yes you're right, that question was answered, my apologies for not
looking it up - however, this is not so much my problem, my problem is
why I am not getting an output to acid, rather than why I can't connect
to mysql from snort, which has not as far as I have found been answered
previously.

Hi there,

I don't mean to sound rude, but this type of question has been answered
on the list quite a few times, here[0] for example.
Anyways:

database: compiled support for ( mysql )
database: configured to use mysql
database:          user = *****
database: password is set
database: database name = snort
database:          host = 192.168.0.2
Node unique name is: 192.168.0.2
database:   sensor name = 192.168.0.2
database: mysql_error: Access denied for user: 'snort@jj.mandrake'
(Using password: YES)
Fatal Error, Quitting..

I am unsure why I am getting this access denied message for mysql? is
that the problem?
Your snort can't connect to the mysql-db on 192.168.0.2, because the
user snort@jj.mandrake ist not allowed to do so.


How can I solve this?
Try to connect to your msyql-db FROM YOUR SNORT HOST like
mysql -h192.168.0.2 -usnort -p
and enter the passwd you configured.
If that's not working, you've a password/permissions problem.
Then you need to assign the proper permissions to that user on your
system. Check out [0] for some examples, or look at [1]- very nifty.
