Re: Snort 1.8 on Redhat 7.1

[Dr SuSE <drsuse () drsuse org>]

Use process control initialization INIT...you know the stuff in rc.d
Write a script to start Snort and call it when your box loads into runlevel 3 
which is multiuser networking last time I checked and the default runlevel for 
a RH box

You want to monitor a win2k server from a linux server?  That question is a bit 
off.  Snort looks at network traffic, it doesnt care what type of machines you 
have on your network.  If the win2k box or any other box for that matter has an 
IP that is part of what you set for your HOME_NET variable in snort.conf then 
traffic to it from $EXTERNAL is being watched.
If your wanting to monitor the health of your win2k box for things such as disk 
space or cpu usage then you will need DEMARC or Big Brother.
