["nitin agarwal" <nitinarchi () lycos com>]

hello
i have fedora core 2 with snort 2.3 rc1 running with ACID console in IDS mode.when i run nessus against the box it 
picks the alerts but when we put the box in a SPAN port in DMZ it by itself is not picking any alerts.
is it that there is no malicious traffic thats why there are no event generated.
any pointers. 
thank you
