I can able to successfully add snort as service and make it Auto as per the steps. But when I restarted computer, snort service refused to start giving follwing error: The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( SnortService ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: e:\winids\snort\etc\snort.conf(514) Unknown rule type: logfile. Whether this error is anything to do with the follwoing line which I have configured in snort .conf? logfile { portscan.log } -- Thanks & Regards Sadanand G.
