This is the output db line I am using in my snort.conf:
'output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=****** dbname=snort
host=localhost detail=full'
If I read this right, snort first sends the info to the log, then to mysql.
But I have no entries in my log files either.
Snort does not give me any errors when I start it. It just plugs along
happily and shows up after I have started it in the 'ps uxaww' list.
