If this is your first time and you want a stright forward walk through I have a doc I have done that will help you. It is a step by step for installing Snort on RH9 (it will work on RH8, just a little diffrent) The doc in under the documents section of snort.org, but make sure to use the updated doc, the link to it is in the doc. as for where your at, you will need to copy the rules, snort.conf, and other files to a location that will be called when Snort starts.

I am working through the "Snort 2.0: Intrusion Detection" book and have a question regarding installing Snort. I downloaded the newest version (snort-2.0.2.tar.gz), copied this file to /tmp, typed tar -zxvf snort-2.0.2.tar.gz, and then in the new snort-2.0.2 directory I issued the ./configure, make, make install commands. Everything seems to have gone according to plan and I tested it by running "snort -v" (just to check some kind of normal output). The book suggests now looking at the "snort.conf" file, located at /etc/snort. I do not see a directory called snort within /etc. I searched my system (RH8) for the snort.conf file and the results show it located at /tmp/snort-2.0.2/etc. Is this normal? I am used to Windows where most applications install to a common directory. To me, a temporary directory is meant to be volatile. I'm trying to get my head wrapped around where things are likely to get installed to.
