Problems with MySQL & Snort

[Stevo <checkpoint () ozbergs com>]

All,

I'm having problems getting Snort to start because it can't find the 
mysql socket file.  The error I get is:

ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to local MySQL server 
through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'

MySQL is running just fine on this server, but the socket is 
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.  I attempted to change the socket in my.cnf 
but that stopped another application I'm using from running (as it's 
looking for the /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock), so I need to work out how to 
get Snort to look for /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock as the MySQL socket.

Does anyone have any ideas where that socket is defined in Snort and how 
I can get around this?

Much appreciated.

Stevo
