Snort 2.0.4 on OpenBSD 3.4 is dropping packets

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out here. I have Snort 2.0.4 installed on a new OpenBSD 3.4 system. Here is my system configuration: Intel P4 3.06 GHz CPU 1GB RAM 80 GB HD NetGear GA621 Fiber Ethernet Card (snort monitors this int) Builtin 10/100 NIC (used for management) I am using a NetOptics Fiber Tap to monitor traffic. OpenBSD and Snort work fine, except that I notice that Snort drops packets, where the previous installtion of RedHat 9 on the SAME box reported no dropped packets. I have tuned Snort (rules, binary logging, etc,) to reduce dropped packets, but I am wondering the following: 1. Is it true that Linux 'lies' about how many packets it drops? 2. Should expect to be dropping packets with such a fast box, or maybe I have not done some important post-Install fixes on OpenBSD? 3. How can I determine the amount of bandwidth my interface is monitoring? Thanks in advance, Joe ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
