Bug 72570 – Small error in ebuild message for snort 2.2.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Barton 2004-11-26 11:00:30 UTC]

Once snort is successfully merged, it gives the following message for setting up mysql:
 * To use a database as a backend for snort you'll have to
 * import the correct tables to the database.
 * You'll have to setup a user called snort first.

The snort user account is already set up, I believe what this is supposed to say is:
 * To use a database as a backend for snort you'll have to
 * import the correct tables to the database.
 * You'll have to setup a *database* called snort first.
This would make sense because the mysql script depends on having a database named 'snort' set up
