snort not logging to log files..

Hi all,

I've installed Snort on Debian Sparc with no errors.
I also setup it up to look at my network.

I started the service   /etc/init.d/snort start
It starts no probs, syslog tells me it started ok too.

I've run countless scans on the network and the host machine and I get
nothing in the logs..   /var/log/snort/
The strange thing about it is there are files in that dir but the size of
all the files is 0, they have nothing in them, but more files keep getting
added, empty ones !
I've also set snort up to email me daily, and all I get are blank emails,
I'm sure it's related to the blank files in /var/log/snort !

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on here...

Thanks.
