I also have the same problem with Mr Meatheringham, I use snort 2.1.0. I
have tried to scan from another machine and give a small attack but it
doesn't alert or log anything.
I have checked /var/log/messages , /var/log/secure, and
/var/log/snort/alert not even mysql!!!!!

Any recommendation ?

Hi
  I've recently upgraded my snort from 2.0.5 to 2.1.0.  I note that the portscan
section is now very different.  Indeed I don't seem to get a portscan log file
any longer and see entries such as these in my alert log file:
[**] [121:4:1] Portscan detected from 203.26.51.50 Talker(fixed: 30 sliding: 30)
Scanner(fixed: 0 sliding: 0) [**]
[**] [121:4:1] Portscan detected from 130.241.27.5 Talker(fixed: 30 sliding: 30)
Scanner(fixed: 0 sliding: 0) [**]
[**] [121:4:1] Portscan detected from 61.88.251.10 Talker(fixed: 30 sliding: 30)
Scanner(fixed: 0 sliding: 0) [**]

  If possible I'd like to get similar output to the older version which when
processed with snortsnarf shows me the IP addresses scanned and the port(s)
scanned on.

  I can't seem to work out how to achieve this.

  Thanks in advance for any advice.
