How do you use a shadow interface with no IP address with snort? I am
running RH 9.

When you start snort, you need to tell it what interface to use and what conf file to use.

If you're going to run two instances of snort on the same box with two interfaces, then you'd do something like this:

snort -i eth0 -c /etc/snort1.conf -D
snort -i eht1 -c /etc/snort2.conf -D

Each conf file would point to a separate database.

(Use whatever other switches you need. For more information on what's available, run snort --help from the commandline. You may have to pipe it through a pager to see everything - snort --help | less, for example.)
