Hi there,

I just installed snort-inline on a Debian Sarge machine from source
(2.2.0) and it seemed to be ok. I also used the
./configure --enable-clamav
option, since I have clamav installed (but clamd is not running, I do the
clamscan calls manually). There was also no problem with configure/make
and running snort_inline.

But when I try to activate the clamav-preprocessor in snort_inline.conf:

        preprocessor clamav: ports all !22 !443, action-drop

I cannot run snort_inline anymore because of this error:

        ERROR:  unknown preprocessor "xav"
        Fatal Error, Quitting..

It is also really strange, that the preprocessor is named "xav" here,
although it is "clamav" in the .conf - but it works when I remove the
clamav line from .conf, so this surely means "clamav".

I've observed similar bugs with the configuration file parser before when the parameters to other pre-processors weren't correct. Double check they're correct.

Best Regards,
Alex.
