hmmmm lets see, Output Plugins, damn why did I miss that clue....I checked
all over the files up one level, but I must not have searched thru the
Output plugins dir.

Thanks a ton Frank! Looks like it's upgrade time....

Open spo_log_ascii.c in src/output-plugins. In the OpenLogFile function
you'll see:

#ifdef WIN32
                snprintf(log_file, STD_BUF, "%s/%s_%d-%d%s", log_path,
                        protocol_names[p->iph->ip_proto], p->sp, p->dp,
suffix);
#else
                snprintf(log_file, STD_BUF, "%s/%s:%d-%d%s", log_path,
                        protocol_names[p->iph->ip_proto], p->sp, p->dp,
suffix);
#endif
            }
            else
            {
#ifdef WIN32
                snprintf(log_file, STD_BUF, "%s/%s_%d-%d%s", log_path,
                        protocol_names[p->iph->ip_proto], p->dp, p->sp,
suffix);
#else
                snprintf(log_file, STD_BUF, "%s/%s:%d-%d%s", log_path,
                        protocol_names[p->iph->ip_proto], p->dp, p->sp,
suffix);
#endif

Change those to whatever you want to appear in the log files (i.e.
change the : to a - or _ or whatever). Then recompile.
