Hi Matthew -- Thank-you for your reply, and here are the answers to your questions: 1. The owner/group permissions for /etc/snort are as follows: drwxr-xr-x root root snort/ <- printout 2. I tried a portscan via NeWT and nothing appeared. 3. When I run the mysql command you mentioned in your e-mail, I am able to access the database via the mysql prompt. -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net]On Behalf Of Matthew K.

What are the owner/group permissions of /etc/snort? 2. Have you tried to send it traffic that would trigger a rule? 3. What happens when you do a 'mysql -u snort -p' with snort's password?

[mailto:AHKAPLAN () PARTNERS ORG] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 2:35 PM To: Snort User Group (E-mail) Subject: [Snort-users] No Alerts Being Generated I completed installing snort 2.2.0 (build 30) and have begun running it. The ACID GUI and /var/log/snort/alert files have not shown any alerts even though the program has been running for over an hour. To verify there were no syntax errors in the snort.conf file, I ran the following: snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf There were no errors and warnings, and the program appears to be running properly. Where in snort.conf and elsewhere, should I check for configuration mistakes? I have included the snort.conf file here. Thanks. <<snort.conf.29sept04.txt>> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
