Rei set these options already before.. but doesn't work also (check in registry the settings also).
- Same folder: noticed also already that this is problem, but that's not my problem
- It is the service version of StdDB- i kept the path names short (for ex. "C:\Snort" and not "C:\programme\snort", to avoid possible problems with 8 char long strings.. but it's not really necessary i think in service mode, also spaces in the pathname shoudn't not be a problem for the service mode, because the names are taken from the registry)
I tested this on W2k and an XP host.. a friend of mine got error 202.. i only get error 2.. (getlasterror message):
[SNORT_SERVICE] StartServiceCtrlDispatcher error = 2 Fatal Error, Quitting..Starting the service from the System services dialog of windows doesn't work too (Service is *installed* correctly)..
Does the service mode work in fact? Strange thing. Regards & thanks for reply! Ueli Kistler eclipse () packx net www.packx.net -- Michael Steele wrote:
Ueli, Try: Snort /SERVICE /INSTALL -c c:\snort\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log Make SURE you are in the same folder as snort when you execute the command for service. You can add your switches in back of the -c switch and change the path statements to whatever you need :) Also make SURE you are using the version of Snort that has the Service option built in. There are two versions (With and Without service) of each. -Michael Michael Steele | System Engineer / Support Technician mailto:michaels () silicondefense com Silicon Defense: IDS solutions - http://www.silicondefense.com Snort: Open Source Network IDS - http://www.snort.org -----Original Message-----From: Ueli Kistler [mailto:iuk () gmx ch] Sent: November 23, 2002 11:20 AMTo: Michael Steele; Chris Green Cc: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: Snort /SERVICE parameter (Win32) Hello i'm having some problems to use Snort option /SERVICE .. for example: C:\SNORT>snort /SERVICE -D [SNORT_SERVICE] StartServiceCtrlDispatcher error = 2 Fatal Error, Quitting..I added Snort service support to IDScenter (and Snort 1.9 support, Autoblock plugin support.. a really nice rule editor..), but Snort /SERVICE option seem to cause a problemhere on my computer.
