Here is what I am using:

from snort.conf:
output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128
 
These files get written to the directory specified with the -l option.

In mudpit config I have:


spool "/home/snort/LOGS/DMZ-O/unified" {  # as specified with the -l option to snort
lock = "mysql" 
arch_dir= "/home/snort/arch"
checkpoint = "checkpoint"
 
# The name of the output plugin. At least one plugin must be specified.
# The string after comma is a parameter sent to the plugin; its format
# depends on a plugin type (mp_out_init entry should understand it).
# Default: none.
output = "/home/snort/mudpit-1.2/output/acid/mp_acid_out.so",
  "server xxxxxx.auckland.ac.nz, user snort, database snort, \
   hostname yyyyy.auckland.ac.nz, interface 1, password zzzzzz"
}
 
If you are still having trouble send me your configs off list and I will
look over them.
