Re: Upgrade Question

[twig les <twigles () yahoo com>]

I installed the newer snort from source in /usr/local/snort
while keeping the old snort.conf around as well as the old
tarball of the whole program.  You pretty much just install
snort like it isn't on the system at all and you can back out to
the old setup by keeping the above-mentioned stuff.  After
you're happy with the new setup you can clean up the old snort
stuff.  Oo, I also saved the old snort startup script instead of
overwriting it (called it snort1.8.sh and the new one
snort1.9.sh).

If you choose to use the ports for the new one the procedure
will be almsot identical.  You'll just have the stuff in
slightly different locations like /usr/local/share.
