I am really upset. I
sent this bug/fix in for RC1 and again for RC2, and then for the last test
version and you still haven't fixed it. When installing the Firewall by default
snort DOES NOT HAVE the proper permissions to the /var/log/snort directory. I
was told by the Mandrake team each time that it would be fixed in the next
version and I find that in the Final version the bug is still there. Once again,
here is the problem.
The directory
/var/log/snort has permissions: drw------- and should have drwx------. Also
snort needs to be the owner for /var/log/snort and the sub-files/directories.
If the permissions
above are not correct, snortd will abort as soon as it's
started.
If I sound upset
it's because I am. I reported this bug and the fix for it at least three times
and three times I was told it would be fixed in the next release. It never was.
My company is looking at setting up our clients with this excellent
firewall/intrusion detection system. How can we recommend that they buy it if it
DOESN'T WORK.????
