Did you give user 'snort' ability to write to /data/snort/log ?Also, try running it without '-D' (remove daemon mode) and see what types of errors you get, or you can just tail /var/log/daemon to see what the errors were. I'm currently running it on a OpenBSD 3.2 system myself without any problems as the user/group snort. You probably just missed a simple step. Bye!

I am attempting to get snort running on an OpenBSD 3.2 system. I compiled snort 1.9.0 with no problems, and attempting to start snort using: snort -c /data/snort/conf/rules/snort.conf -u snort -g snort -dev -l /data/snort/log -i fxp1 -D I have created the user and group 'snort'. fxp1 is an interface running at autosense, both on the switch and on my server. When I run the above command to start snort, I don't see anything running when I do a 'ps -ax'. Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I should also mention I have a couple other systems running an identical configuration and everything is fine with those systems.
