Re: Problem running snort 1_8 as an NY Win2KSrv Service

["JP" <Theblahact () hotmail com>]

Hi Mike,

Yep, completely understand why srvany is required to install Snort as a
service on Win32.

What I have never done is the following:

INSTSRV SrvAny "c:\winnt\srvany.exe"

only

instsrv Snort c:\snort\bin\snort.exe

In the above scenario, you will end up with two services installed: SrvAny
and Snort.
