Rubbish, this is not it, i'll explain why in personal email so as not
to confuse the list.

Yep.

Hello larc,

I upgraded to snort 1.9 and still adding the
following 2 lines.

I used ./configure with no options.

/etc/snort.conf

output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
output CSV: /var/log/alert.csv default
etc
[I have also tried with commenting out
alert_syslog]

/etc/snort/classification.config
/etc/snort/*.rules

Nothing goes in any of the /var/log/* files, nor
does it log to

-bash-2.05b$ ls -l /var/log/alert.csv
-rw-r--r--  1 snort  snort  0 Dec  9 15:14
/var/log/alert.csv

-bash-2.05b$ sudo snort -v -u snort -g snort -l
/var/log/snort -D
Initializing Output Plugins!

I don't think something is broke, but it's the
way
i'm using it.

Anyone got any thoughts?

After spending all afternoon on this, I need
some
tips.

I am using OpenBSD 3.2-stable and snort 1.8.6
compiles from ports.

I can't get snort to write csv output.  Is this
a
known issue or
am I doing something wrong?

/etc/snort.conf

output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
output csv: /var/log/snort/snort.log
msg,proto,timestamp,src,srcport,dst,dstport

-bash-2.05b$ ls -ld /var/log/snort
drwxr-xr-x  2 snort  snort  512 Dec  8 17:31
/var/log/snort
-bash-2.05b$ ls -l /var/log/snort/snort.log
-rw-r--r--  1 snort  snort  0 Dec  8 17:31
/var/log/snort/snort.log

I have to launch snort like this so it writes
into
/var/log/snort/
# snort -v -u snort -g snort -l /var/log/snort
-D

-bash-2.05b$ ps auxw | grep snort
snort    21995 31.8  0.0   664   644 ??  Ss    
5:38PM    0:14.62 snort -v -u snort -g snort -l
/var/log/snort -D

Interestingly without the -l option it won't
write
there, but this
is less important.

I'd like syslog and csv output.

Snort was build like this
# cd /usr/ports/net/snort
# make install

-bash-2.05b$ grep LOG_AUTH
/usr/include/syslog.h
#define LOG_AUTH        (4 Snort!
