Good morning,

How about editing snort.conf to log to syslog? This should give you some
flexibility in alerting.

-  That largely depends on how much time you've got I'm afraid --
-  everything which Smoothwall is doing can be implemented in different
-  ways, using free tools.  Whether you want to spend 2 weeks tinkering
-  about and implementing your 'perfect' setup is probably a
cost:benefit
-  decision you need to make ;)
-
-  The most important question, in my opinion:  does the product do what
-  you want, is it 99% there?
-
-  As to whether the product is good - only you can answer that :)
That's
-  like asking, "How long is a piece of string?" or "What is the best
-  editor?" -- it will always cause people of different opinions to
spout
-  "It's complete bollocks" vs "It's the best thing ever" and none of
-  those people are you, so it's pretty irrelevent spouting!
