I'd like to report an issue I had with your definition. I was trying to get Snort to interoperate with some new tools I could get to read Unified2 format but lost a day or two figuring out how to test the setup on the command-line. Eventually I found that it wasn't reading my configuration file and that I needed to tell it to with the -c option. I distinctly reminder getting thrown by the concept of a "Rules File" which the snort command's -h documentation used to describe the option, not knowing that was the same as the configuration file at /etc/snort/snort.conf on Ubuntu. Can we please change the documentation for the -c flag to "Use config file <rules>" or "Use Rules (config) File <rules>"? I think that would have been enough to avoid me loosing those days of work. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!
