RE: snort dead but subsys locked

When I see this error I look in my /var/log/messages file and usually get helpful info regarding which part of the 
snort.conf file contains invalid syntax.

ymmv

snort starts up, touches the subsysfile and then exits, probably because it cant load the rules or something similiar, 
what do you snort logs say? try starting snort up manually using the same options has you have in your 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd startup script
