RE: [Snort-users] Snort sensor and mysql setup

That should do it for you. After you give the remote snort user
permissions on the mysql box (make sure you have the port open for
mysql) then it should work fine. I will be adding this to the next
revision of that document.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort sensor and mysql setup

I'm having a problem getting snort Version 2.1.2 (Build 25)set to log to
a remote mysql server, I've followed Patrick Harpers guide in setting up
the apache, mysql server, now I want the sensor setup on a seperate
machine to log back to the mysql/apache server. I know where the problem
lies, just unsure on how to correct it.=20

ERROR: database: mysql_error: Access denied for user:
'snort@10.0.16.18' (Using password: YES) Fatal Error, Quitting..

I understand that snort can't login to the remote mysql server, If I try
to enter the following

[root@worsen01 snortcenter]# mysql -h10.0.16.16 -usnort -p snort Enter
password:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'snort@10.0.16.18'
(Using password: YES)

If I would login to the mysql server directly and=20

SET PASSWORD FOR snort@10.0.16.18=3DPASSWORD 'new_password');

Then grant the permissions that are needed:

grant CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE on
snort.* to snort@10.0.16.18;

grant CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE on
snort.* to snort;

Would that take care of my problem?

If anybody has a better suggestion for setting this up any assistance
would be greatly appreciated, I'm using snort Version 2.1.2 on Fedora
core 1. Eventually I would like to have 6 sensors logging to this
database.
But right now just need to get the one working.

Thanks
Lance
