Thanks Waldo, yes they are pcaps (to be specific). The odd thing is I'm running 8 snort processes. (in a test environment) /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -U -b -d -e -D -i dag0:0 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -U -b -d -e -D -i dag0:2 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -U -b -d -e -D -i dag0:4 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort etc... up to dag0:14. Based on your comment, there should be 8 log (pcap) files but there is not The question I'm trying to answer is why are there 2 or sometimes 3 pcap files? Also...only one of the pcap files collects data, the others are empty.
While it might be possible to do this using a shared logging directory, I find it easier to manage multiple instances using the same configuration if you give each its own log directory. Other apps, like barnyard2 will be happier with this type of setup as well.
