RE: SNORT DROPPING PACKETS

["Crow, Owen" <Owen_Crow () bmc com>]

I was surprised to find this isn't listed in the manual or the FAQ list.
It's been covered repeatedly on the list.

On Unix systems send SIGUSR1 to the Snort process:

        kill -USR1 <snort_pid>

I don't know how on Win32 systems.  Linux systems require patching to make
this work as far as I can tell.  I never found out how on a 2.4 system, so I
switched to FreeBSD.

Seasons Greetings,

How do you know when Snort starts dropping packets? 
Is there some command to gather those stats?
