Re: Problems with snort -A

["Josh Berry" <josh.berry () linknet-solutions com>]

Actually, using -A never should have worked with MySQL before.  The
command line arguments override config options for logging, so -A should
have disabled the database config you used with 2.0.  I am not sure why it
worked before.
