Help me please :(

[Santosh M Hulkund <santoshmh () indts com>]

 Hi Gurus,

        I need u r help, if u can spare few minutes to read this mail. I am
just a beginner, I installed Snort Version 1.8.4-beta1 (Build 91) on one of
my Linux box. For testing I changed the telnet.rules as

        alert tcp any any  -> 10.10.XXX.XXX 23

With no rule options, here 10.10.XXX.XXX is my Linux box. I ran snort. After
this I tried to telnet on this Linux box, so that it would generate alert. I
checked the alert file in /var/log/snort, there was some data present.

Then I ran snortsnarf.pl -d /home/santosh/www -ldir /var/log/snort, so that
it would generate a html page. The output was 

0 alerts found using input module SnortFileInput, with sources: 
/var/log/snort.alert 

What could be the reason, If the question is very silly pardon me.

 With Regards,
 Santosh M Hulkund
