A snortd script was installed in my /etc/rc.d/init.d folder.  When running 
./snortd from the cli as root I get "snortd start|stop|restart|status, 
below is a portion of the script that starts snort:

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        if [ -x /usr/sbin/snort -a ! -e /var/lock/subsys/snort ]; then
                gprintf "Starting snort: "
                cd /var/log/snort
                daemon /usr/sbin/snort -u snort -g snort -s -d -D \
                         -i ${INTERFACE} -l /var/log/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
                touch /var/lock/subsys/snort
                echo
        else
                gprintf "Snort already running.\n"

I'm going to have to search to see what the -u -g -s -d -D mean.

I'm running Mandrake 9.0 with snort 1.8.7-3mdk.
