According to the FAQ, the snort tool is supposed to be run as root. Is there any way to run it as a regular user, ie. giving myself permission to read the stream through eth0?
(root@cerebro)(~) snort -? [..snip..] -g <gname> Run snort gid as <gname> group (or gid) after initialization -u <uname> Run snort uid as <uname> user (or uid) after initialization [..snip..] make sure the logging directory has the proper permissions. And take in mind you won't be able to send a HUP signal. Check the snort-users archive i believe this came up awhile ago.
