RE: Snort not logging to the /var/log/snort/alert file

Does the file have the proper rights so that snort can write to it?
The correct group and user etc?

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort not logging to the /var/log/snort/alert
file

Hi-

I'm a goof and accidently deleted my /var/log/snort/alert file. After I
deleted I tried to recreate the file. I noticed that Snort no longer
writes alerts to this file. I've tried everything. Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance!


Alan
