Re: [Snort-users] starting snort

Hi,

unfortunatelly you wrote nothing about your network setup. If all the
traffic you want to observe is going over your sensor, no need to run
the nics in the promisc mode. Otherwise you even have to, but please
read the docs and older posts about running Snort on a switch or a hub.
There is a small caveat outhere.

Regards,
Edin
