Hi all, im sorry to disturb you again.

I have a problem when i reboot a freebsd box with snort.
The problem is, that the snort instance go up before Mysql server.
I have try to sleep the snort process for 15 seconde to let's Mysql go
up before without success... (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/snort -->  sleep 15)

But i have this error, on /var/log/message
: FATAL ERROR: database: mysql_error: Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'

Some on have an idea how to let's snort stand for Mysql instance ?

Yes. Start the mysqld daemon first. Take a look in the FreeBSD
documentation on how to do that.

mysql *should* have installed (if you installed it from ports) with a 
startup script named 111.mysqld.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, which *should* 
make it startup first.  If you compiled from source, your startup script 
simply needs to be named mysqld.sh so that it starts before snort.sh. 
Startup scripts are processed numerically and then alphabetically.

Take a look at rcorder, rc.subr and rc.

Also, might be worth making sure that MySQL is actually running and
using the socket /tmp/mysql.sock first though.
