-s has the ability to have a parameter, but it's not used. So simply change your command line to: /usr/local/bin/snort -A full -c /usr/local/bin/rules/snort.conf -D -s And all will be fine. If you want to shorten that command line down, add this to snort.conf: config daemon output alert_syslog: <facility> <priority> output alert_full: <logfile_name> then: ln -s /usr/local/bin/rules/snort.conf /etc/snort.conf And then: /usr/local/bin/snort :) ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro."
