Striek,

Thanks for the information, thats what I was looking for :-)

Although I do have a Slack noob question..lol

I went to uninstall snort 2.4.4 using pkgtool and it dosent show up in the list?? Any other suggestions on how to uninstall it?

The book I am reading said to extract and install in the /tmp directory and its running under /tmp/snort2.4.4

Kinda new to some of this stuff so any help would be appreciated.

As far as mysql, can I install and configure that after I install snort? also with BASE?

I appreciate your help and thank you for your time :-)
