Hello,
I seem to be having a problem setting up snort to use MySQL database.
When I run 'snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf' I get the following:
===================================================
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort
Initializing Network Interface eth0
--== Initializing Snort ==--
Initializing Output Plugins!
Decoding Ethernet on interface eth0
Initializing Preprocessors!
Initializing Plug-ins!
Parsing Rules file /etc/snort/snort.conf
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Initializing rule chains...
database: compiled support for ( MySQL )
database: configured to use MySQL
database: user = snort
database: database name = snort
database: host = localhost
database: sensor name = 192.168.1.100
ERROR: database: MySQL_error: Access denied for user: 'snort@localhost' (Using
password: NO)
Fatal Error, Quitting..
===================================================
snort.conf has the following entry:
===================================================
output database: log, MySQL, user=snort, password=******** dbname=snort
host=localhost
===================================================
MySQL was setup using this line for snort:
===================================================
grant INSERT,SELECT on root.* to snort@localhost;
SET PASSWORD FOR snort@localhost=PASSOWRD('********');
grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort@localhost;
grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on snort.* to snort;
===================================================
This was a step by step guide I had followed to set this up. I'm hoping
someone might be able to see what I'm missing. Thnx
