Hi Parker Crook

I have installed OSSIM 2.2 on my server. basically i have configured
snort at the backend using
http://sites.google.com/site/ossimnewbie/Home/Configure-snort

I am using oinkmaster to update snort rules.

Basically is there a way to look at the web interface to view or
configure or view snort configs which has been configured in the
backend.

Please suggest/guide.

Thanks and Regards,

Kaushal
