Re: /var/log/messages filling up

["Cynthia Leonard (cyleonar)" <cyleonar () cisco com>]

Usually once the memcap reaches a certain limit, the sessions get pruned to free some memory. This message gets printed 
 when x number sessions are pruned and sometimes it can be quickly fill /var/log/messages.
This issue has been addressed in the upcoming version of snort 2.9.x.

Cynthia
