Hi Greg,
I posted this on the forums a few days ago but since there has been no replies I am asking anyone on this list for assistance. Most of my sensors are running on centos 4 without a problem using mysql and base. To start getting familiar with CentOS 5 i built a test sensor which comes with mysql 5. I compiled the latest snort 2.6.x version. What happens if I do not get any alarms is snort loses the connection and starts throwing various errors like snort[7890]: database: mysql_error: MySQL server has gone away The database is working fine. I can still connect to it.
either a timeout happened or the connection was otherwise terminated. The client library of MySQL 4.x did a reconnect whereas this behaviour was changed with version 5.x. Take a look at: http://osdir.com/ml/security.ids.snort.devel/2006-04/msg00001.html Best regards Dirk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
