Hello I have a new installation of SNORT on Centos 5.8 linux. The
configuration verificaiton indicates "Snort successfully validated the
configuration" "Snort exiting".

However, the snort log is empty even after restarting snort several times.
Checking through mailing archives I found some checks to perform and the
" tcpdump -i eth0" does generate traffic so the interface I know is working
fine. In the archive mailing list, there was mention of the output file
needing some additional parameters for logging; however, I have not been
able to find what these should be. Is there a sample snort.conf "working"
sample file that may be available as an example.

The snort version I'm using is:  Version 2.9.3.1
I would apprciate any help.

Thank you
