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

[ids () san rr com]

Yes Snort does have permissions...nothing really changed. I've been doing some further research and it seems once you 
delete the alert file Snort no longer will right to the file any longer. Can anybody verify this? I find that hard to 
believe there isn't a configuration somewhere. 

Thank you!
