Also, when setting your path, remember that Snort will
not take > 8 characters in a directory (or file) name 
argument. So if you installed Snort in C:\Program Files\Snort, 
you must type C:\Progra~1\Snort for the path. This little SNAFU 
caused me all kinds of hate and discontent.

Subject: SNORT error




Thanks for all previos response.  I have it installed on 
my server.  When I test config I get:

|> IDScenter 2001 test console <|
-- Press ENTER after checking Snorts output --
Log directory = C:\Documents

        --== Initializing Snort ==--

[!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging 
directory C:\Documents.
(directory doesn't exist or permissions are set 
incorrectly
or it is not a directory at all)

Fatal Error, Quitting..
What access does it need, and to which account do I 
give access to?

thanks
dp
