Thanks for that pointer. Stupid of me not to have gone thru the FAQ
first. Switched to the "lowmem" option for search_method and the
utilization dropped to 17M.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Snort memory usage
Snort 2.6 has a much larger memory foot print than < 2.6.
I encourage a browse through the faq on Snort.org for more info on this
one.

Hi,
I am running Snort (2.6.0.2) on an old Sun Ultra 5 with Solaris 7
(32-bit). The memory usage is running to 200M even without any
traffic.
Is that normal for snort?
Thanks & Regards,
