Take a look at sourceforge.net/projects/snort-idmef where I provide a new
version.

Hi all,
I tried to bring my snort + idmef up.
But, so far, snort process was dead with this error 
 
Sep 28 16:28:00 biff snort: FATAL ERROR: IDMEF: cannot output messages on a
NULL facility
 
I'm runing snort-2.0.2 with IDMEF XML output plugin for Snort, version
0.2.2.
I can complie both of them without problem. This is the snort's
configuration line...
 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/snort --mandir=/usr/local/man
--enable-idmef
 --with-libxml2-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-libxml2-libraries=/usr/local/lib
 
The following alert is received and snort is dead.... (/var/log/snort/alert)

and snort is dead!
 
This is the IDMEF setting in my snort.conf file.

Do you  have any idea where I stuck?
