RE: Snort user -u/-g and permissions docs?

["Gordon Cunningham" <gacunningham () bellsouth net>]

Sanitized for posting...   Works with root:

/<path to snort>/snort -d -D -u root -g root -c /<path to
conf>/snort-eth0.conf -i eth0


Doesn't work with a non-su user in place of "root" above.  User has
permissions in the paths above, plus log path and pid file path.
