Hey all:
OBSD3.7 SNORT2.3.3 I have a machine with 4 nics running 4 instances of snort: /usr/local/bin/snort -u sguil -g sguil -l /nsm/em0 -c /etc/snort/em0.snort.conf -U -A none -m 122 -i em0 -D /usr/local/bin/snort -u sguil -g sguil -l /nsm/em1 -c /etc/snort/em1.snort.conf -U -A none -m 122 -i em1 -D /usr/local/bin/snort -u sguil -g sguil -l /nsm/em2 -c /etc/snort/em2.snort.conf -U -A none -m 122 -i em2 -D /usr/local/bin/snort -u sguil -g sguil -l /nsm/em3 -c /etc/snort/em3.snort.conf -U -A none -m 122 -i em3 -D One of the 4 nics has an ip address, the others do not. When I start up the 4 instances of snort, the nic (em0) with the ip address shows up in promiscuous mode, the others do not. # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33224 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 00:04:23:bd:ab:d6 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active inet 10.1.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 inet6 fe80::204:23ff:febd:abd6%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 em1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 00:04:23:bd:ab:d7 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active em2: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 00:14:22:0f:84:2b media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active em3: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 00:14:22:0f:84:2c media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active pflog0: flags=0<> mtu 33224 pfsync0: flags=0<> mtu 2020 enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536 # How do I get the other 3 ip-less nics to run in promiscuous mode in OBSD? Any help would be appreciated. Sean
