I'm experiencing the same thing. I believe the docs says that on Linux systems, such as mine, it should be /var/log/secure. Can I configure it via the alert_syslog plugin?
Yeppers. Have a look at README and snort.conf [README] -s Log alert messages to the syslog. On linux boxen, they will appear in /var/log/secure, /var/log/messages on many other platforms. You can change the logging facility by using the syslog output plugin, at which point the -s switch should not be used (command line alert/log switches override any config file output variables). [snort.conf] # alert_syslog: log alerts to syslog # ---------------------------------- # Use one or more syslog facilities as arguments # # output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT Be sure to keep in mind that your /etc/syslog.conf is what "really" tells the alerts where to go. If you point LOCAL7 at say /var/log/snort/snortlog then all your alerts will be in that one file.
Anyone?
