Side note: Might want to symlink /etc/snort/snort.conf to /etc/snort.conf. Snort looks for that by default, so it's just a handy thing to have. :)
Now my trouble is when I go to start Snort with snort -D -c snort.conf it comes right back to the prompt with no error but looking at processes running it does not start. I cannot find anywhere if there is a log on errors when starting. I am at a lost as to why it is not starting.
Start Snort by hand. Don't use a init script for testing. Start Snort without the -D. That'll send the output to stdout instead of /dev/null. That should let you see what's breaking. There's also -T that can test your config. It just verifies syntax--It doesn't protect you from doing something silly. Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
