I have to adjust the config scripts so that if eth0 does not exist they prompt you to select an interface. This is done in the snort package, but not in snort-mysql or snort-postgresql packages. > Because the eth0 didn't exist, it failed the debconf and didn't asked me to > configure the mysql database.

The database configuration is of 'medium' priority. > > So, I needed to : You could have just done a 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow snort-mysql' to fix all that. You were not show the interface question because it is a 'medium' priority question. Regards Javier
