Re: OpenPcap() error

      config set_gid: snort
      config set_uid: snort

That's what I have and I get the group null error. When I change them to their 
respective numbers I get an error about not able to look up the user from the 
id (1000).

Commented out and the log rule corrected snort runs. :) But it would still be 
nice to run snort as a user/group. :)

Also snort doesn't seem to pay attention to the config daemon param. I still 
have to use -D if I want it to load up that way. Why is that?

Thanks,
Robert


See if that makes a difference.

What do you suppose is wrong with:

log udp 192.168.0.12/32 -> 192.168.0.111/32 514 (logto:"ws1.log";)

?? I checked the manual on this and page 9 of the 1.9.1 manual shows the
port number that way. The rest seems ok to me. Any ideas?

There's no port on the first half of the rule.

      log udp 192.168.0.12/32 any -> 192.168.0.111/32 514 (logto: \
      "ws1.log" ;)

All rules must have the following form:

      <action> <type> <IP> <port> <direction> <IP> <port>

More is fine:

      <action> <type> <IP> <port> <direction> <IP> <port> (<whatever>;)

Or not....  :)
