Re: Same config, FreeBSD vs OpenBSD, WAY different results

How about span port on the switch, are the spans looking at the same
traffic?  Are both network cards set to promiscuous mode?  Are the network
cards configured the same (both 100fdx or 100hdx or 10fdx or 10hdx, etc).

There may be more differences in the hardware and the OS setup.

Are you saying that this is the exact hardware?  Same ram, same hard disk,
same cpu? same ethernet chipset?

Since FBSD and OpenBSd share some of the same kernel configuration, I
assume that the kernel configs are the same?

the /etc/init.d/snort file contains the same startup options?

What about the /var/log partition, mounted the same?

What about swap partitions? same size?
