Once, the errors are cleaned up, try adding the -D.Excellent hint, Bill. Thanks much. Doing this reports: ERROR in OpenAlertFile() => fopen() alert file /var/log/snort/alert: Permission denied Fatal Error, Quitting.. Yet another DOH! for me... After adjusting the permissions on /var/log/snort in the chroot, it starts fine. Could this be added to the FAQ? I did check it before posting, as well as the archives... On a more design-oriented front, shouldn't this have been logged _somewhere_, when using the '-D' switch? I checked every log I could think of, and could not find any reference to the reason snort wouldn't start. Even the -T switch didn't help. Thanks very much. :) Benny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I find your lack of clue...disturbing" - Sysadmin Vader. - Quote from a .sig file, on the MailMan users mailing list _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
