Looks like you have no access to the Snort database. Go back and make SURE
you can access the database with the credentials that you have in the
snort.conf file on the MySQL output database line.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort and MySQL
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
