Re: SNORT not saving pcap file

Your command line is overriding your .conf

Try

./snort -i dag0:0 -c /etc/snort.snort.conf

I'm running snort 2.9.3.1 on CentOS 6.3 capturing traffic via Endace DAG card. I want to save to a file (pcap format) 
the traffic that it sees. I know in snort.conf there are some settings, but it does not appears to save the file. 
When ever I use the snort.conf, it is not saved.

The settings are:
config logdir: /data/snortlog

# pcap
output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log

The command I'm using to start snort:

      ./snort -d -b -i dag0:0 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

If I use this, I get a file that tcpdump can read, but no detail packet info.

      ./snort -d -b -i dag0:0 -l /data/snortlog -L tcpdump.log


Attached is the snort.conf.

Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
