I made a first test using snort. But I can't get log message the special directory. Here is my snort.conf: output alert_fast: /home/snort/fst.log log tcp any any -> any 80 (flags:S;) I just want to put the "alert_fast" message to the file /home/snort/fst.log, but I will get an error if I run this command: snort -c snort.conf -d the err messages as below: Running in IDS mode Log directory = /var/log/snort ERROR: [!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory "/var/log/snort". (directory doesn't exist or permissions are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at all) Fatal Error, Quitting.. When I run this command: snort -c snort.conf -dl /home/snort/ then all output message will be recorded in IP hierarchy in /home/snort directory. I m wandering how to log the output message to a /home/snort/fst.log file Can any senior one give me a directive? Thanks very very much! Pat Guo
