RE: a lot of Loopback traffic being logged.

["Chuck Holley" <cholley () fitnessquest com>]

OK, I think im on to something.  I do not use the -i option, only -c to look
at the conf.  in the conf I have for "HOME_NET 192.168.10.0/24" and a little
further down I have "HOME_NET any"

I didn't pay much attention to that earlier because they were both not
commented out by default.  Im still a little confused on how snort works. Is
this the problem? 

Thanks

What interface parameter are you passing to snort on the command line? -i 
any? Try forcing snort to only listen on one real ethernet interface, it 
could be sniffing your loopback interface, which naturally would have 
loopback traffic on it.
