Does the user that you run snort under have rights to write to the file that you created? Do an ll on the file and check the user, group and flag settings. Are these appropriate for the user that snort runs under?

When you say permissions do you mean permissions for the Snort user account I created or the Snort application itself. Also can somebody give me the command to give permssions to Snort so it can write to the file (chmod?)? Thanks for all the help! Alan _______________________________________ Hi, Did you create it with the permissions? Did you give permissions to the snort to write on it?

Hi- I'm a goof and accidently deleted my /var/log/snort/alert file. After I deleted I tried to recreate the file. I noticed that Snort no longer writes alerts to this file. I've tried everything. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!
