Hello, I know this has appeared in the past, but the archives were not very helpfull.?When running snort 2.0.0 on RedHat 9.0 I get the message "File size limit exceeded."?The alert file is only about 500mb and there is no .login file with the line "file size limit x".?Is this because of libpcap??How can i reconfigure it with the big file size option??Is this something to do with RedHat? Any help would be apreciated. PS the comp is spec are fine, dual P4 3 GHz, 85 Gb, 1Gb Ram, so it must be some software.
It's nothing in Snort that causes that. It's going to be in the OS. You're either dealing with lack of 'large file' support (2GB+), or running out of inodes. If the file is less than 2GB and you have plenty of inodes, then check your ulimits. If running via Sudo there might be a unexpected limit.
