Actually, -A none is supposed to disable all alerting output plugins, logging plugins should still run.

Looking at the code, it appears that spo_database is setting itself properly in terms of notifying the system that an alerting plugin is running. I'll take a look and see if I can figure out why we're still getting an alert file. IIRC I've heard about this one from time to time, maybe its an old bug that never got properly squashed.

Hi Marty,

To turn off alerting, use "-A none" at the command line.  To turn off
logging, you can use -N at the command line or add a "output
log_null" in the snort.conf file.

yes, but "-A none" will also disable all output plugins. This is sometimes
not desired...


Raymond wanted the output plugins enabaled but no files in /var/log/ snort.

This is what the '-Y' opion of the FLoP patch does....

Best regards

Dirk
