Erek, Thanks for the prompt reply. Still, not so sure yet about the upgrading steps. I tried (without touching existing working snort 1.9.0) # gzip -d -c snort-2.0.1.tar.gz |tar xvf - # cd snort-2.0.1 #./configure #make error reported: r cru libspo.a spo_alert_fast.o spo_alert_full.o spo_alert_smb.o spo_alert_syslog.o spo_alert_unixsock.o spo_csv.o spo_database.o spo_log_null.o spo_log_tcpdump.o spo_unified.o spo_log_ascii.o spo_alert_sf_socket.o make[3]: ar: Command not found make[3]: *** [libspo.a] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/snortfile/snort-2.0.1/src/output-plugins' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/snortfile/snort-2.0.1/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/snortfile/snort-2.0.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 then. #make install Then, #snort -V still shows Snort Version 1.9.0 is running... Do I need to remove/uninstall the existing 1.9.0 before install 2.0.1? and HOW to uninstall snort if needed in the right way? Thanks a lot in advance.

I plan to upgrade it to Snort 2.0.1, but want tomakesure before going ahead - better having the oldsnortworking than a newer one which is not. Do I have to remove snort 1.9.1 first and how todo itthe right way? or just install the new one on topofthe old one. I did which snort, it reports: # which snort /usr/local/bin/snort # I'm very new in this, so please advise.Long story made short: 1.9.x is dead--No longer maintained. Longer version: The new rules are 2.x style. They won't work with 1.9.x. The upgrade is seamless. Replace the executeable, snort.conf, *.rules, *.map, *.config and you're ready to go. If you need more info, drop me a line. Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S. Thompson
