Copy to /etc/init.d as mysql. Make sure to put an S##mysql and a K##mysql into /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and/or /etc/rc.d/rc3.d (if you do not go to run level 5 for X-windows). The ## in the S## should be smaller than used to start snort so that the DB is up when snort starts. Check the snort web site ther are several sets of great instructions there.

How to start mysql client on the sensor?please help !!!!!!!!! Hi, I installed mysql on a fedora acting as a sensor as following: (I downloaded mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686). ./configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/mysql NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it! To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory. Installing all prepared tables To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h sensor-Jr-lan password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command! You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running with the command: ./bin/mysqladmin version [root@sensor-Jr-lan mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /snortinstall/mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686/data 040908 22:17:58 mysqld ended How I start it on boot time? I read that I need to "copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system" but what is the right place ? in order to that this machine passes the sql to the main management server ( with acid) is it enough to just configure snort.conf or I need also to configure something in the sql client on this client ? please help !! thanks !!
