Quoting J. Craig Woods (drjung () trismegistus net):
var HOME_NET any var EXTERNAL_NET $HOME_NETCommand line options will override setup variables in snort.conf.
Yes, but do they propagate in this example. I set HOME_NET to a different value than specified in snort.conf, but will it propagate to EXTERNAL_NET, as specified in snort.conf. So is the config file parsed (HOME_NET=any, EXTERNAL_NET=any) and then the command line (HOME_NET=192.168.1.34/32, EXTERNAL_NET=any) ? Or is the config file parsed (HOME_NET=any, EXTERNAL_NET=any) and then the command line (HOME_NET=192.168.1.34/32, EXTERNAL_NET=192.168.1.34/32) Reason why I ask this is, I released snort 1.8.6 as a Debian package recently and found that EXTERNAL_NET has $HOME_NET as value, and was wondering what the impact of redefining the HOME_NET variable during snort-startup would be on EXTERNAL_NET. I hope the above clarifies what I try to find out :) Regards, Sander. -- | The cigarette does all the smoking.
