RE: [Snort-users] Snort-MySQL problem

It is my understanding that the snort.conf file is only read when the
program loads. The snort.conf file basically tells the program how to
configure itself when it is loaded into memory. Such as whether to log to
the database or to a certain file type, as well as what processors to use.
This file is read once and not referred to again while snort is running.

P.s. If anyone knows if I'm wrong in making this assumption about snort.conf
please let me know :) I don't fear mistakes, but embrace them :P

It's work !!!
Another question from me:
My Snort is automatic running,but why it doesn't read snort.conf file?


Quoting CMartin@infosol.com:
