Re: trying this again (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

Running Snort/BY2 on CentOS/RH isn't any harder then any other
distro.. I run 50 sensors on Cent 6.3

The ESX part does make things different in the sniffing/packet capture
part, but that's a different conversation.

As always, take the troubleshooting one step at a time.. snort, then
output, then barnyard2 then mysql checks then the console.

IF you want help, we'll work through each of the problems, but we'll
need more information about the problems and errors.
