Snort on Sparc works for the most part. It seems like if it tries to |
| 32 |
process more than about 150MB/s it'll sig11, and if it runs for more |
| 33 |
than a few days it sig11s. It's not really any better on |
| 34 |
Solaris/Sparc, so it's just a basic incompatibility with the Sparc |
| 35 |
architecture and Snort. If you do decide to stick with it, I recommend |
| 36 |
a simple cron job that restarts Snort every day, that seems to work |
| 37 |
pretty well for me. With as cheap as x86 hardware is though, I highly |
| 38 |
recommend you just pick up a cheap box and use that for Snort. |
