That was an error check I added in 2.1.3, it basically tells you if you forget to add the trailing ']' on an IP list. These are typically defined as variables, check your snort.conf.

Subject: [Snort-users] FATAL ERROR in bad-traffic.rules

After hours of trying to get snort installed and working, I feel like I'm
getting close.  But when I start up snort, it dies with the following
message.

FATAL ERROR: /etc/snort/rules/bad-traffic.rules(12) => Unterminated IP List

These rules are stock right out of the box. No idea what the problem is...
Anyone?

Let me guess. You're trying to install Snort 2.1.3? That's my guess because I have run into the same difficulty. Been using snort all the way back since day one and have never had any trouble to speak of that I couldn't solve. So far no luck on this one. So, I went back to 2.1.2 until I have more time to
figure it out. Whatever the problem, it seems unique to 2.1.3.
