Hi all,

I've installed snort on Ubuntu using the official documentation on Snort website (except installing reporting tool as 
I'm using snorby). When installation is completed, I wanted to test it. To my big suprise, snort is creating unified 
output files, but they're empty. I was testing using nmap with intense scanning (including both TCP and UDP) as well 
as LOIC, but all the files have size of zero. When I redirect output to -A console, I can clearly see the packets, 
also when I cancel snort process, in the summary I can clearly find statistics, but still nothing can be found in the 
files.
Any tips and tricks will be highly appreciated.
