Snort: Re: snort with mysql

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

Snort is accessing the database, but the privileges, or credentials are not
set correctly for user 'snort'.

 

Manually log into the mysql database with the credentials used in the output
database line, and verify the user can get in.

 

Kindest regards,

Michael...
