RE: Looking for snort.conf with new preprocessor info

If you are using the proper config, you should have seen the following when
starting snort:

,-----------[Flow Config]----------------------
| Stats Interval:  0
| Hash Method:     2
| Memcap:          10485760
| Rows  :          4099
| Overhead Bytes:  16400(%0.16)
`----------------------------------------------

I would double check your config because I didn't see that in your log that
you sent.

Did that.

You must enable the flow preprocessor. Example:

#preprocessor flow: stats_interval 0 hash 2 

Should be:

preprocessor flow: stats_interval 0 hash 2

I am running Debian Woody with Snort 2.0.0 and nothing else and it is  
running fine.  It would catch all the portscans.  Now that I have 
installed 2.2 rc1 it does not find them.  It starts with no errors.  
Here is what I get from my syslog.

I see that there is a problem with the flowbits.  That is why I had did 
something wrong with the snort.conf file.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill
