[EnGarde] Re: Snort with mysql issues

        Tried this work around, to no avail. Thanks for the idea, I may have to use logsnorter to parse the log file and write the data to the database. Anyone have any other ideas?

Dear Casey.

On Thursday, March 13, 2003, at 12:19 GMT -05   (23:19, the same day my local time),
 you wrote about "[EnGarde] Snort with mysql issues", at least in part:

RC> Has anyone run snort with mysql on Engarde? Unfortunately I've not. RC> I have upgraded to the RC> latest Snort package, and cannot get the connection to mysql working. Is RC> this due to the chrooted environment locking snort down to said environment?
 I think you are right. Try to do something like the following: mkdir /var/chroot/snort/var/lib/mysql
ln /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/chroot/snort/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

If it helps, you have to recreate hard link every time mysql restarts. -- Yours sincerely Serge Leschinsky mailto:fish@artlife.tomsknet.ru
