Re: OpenPcap() error

[Robert Cole <robert.cole () support4linux com>]

OpenPcap() errors go back years as I stated. A search on google for OpenPcap() 
turned up years worth of unanswered posts to the exact error I'm talking 
about.

I'll post all my info and detailed logs on this problem shortly. It's snort 
1.9.1 I'm talking about but since this error goes back years it doesn't 
appear to make a difference. That's why I didn't bother with a while lot the 
first time. It's extensively documented through 100s of posts over the past 3 
years with no answers.

But in the mean time I can start snort from the command line with params but 
when I try to use the snort.conf file I get the openpcap() error.

There is an faq on snort.org but it references the windows version only.

Thank you for your reply and I'll post the requested info shortly.

Thanks,
Robert
