I upgraded to 2.8.6 and this fixed my problem. From: Chris Eidem [mailto:CEIDEM () Dexma com] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 11:49 AM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Snort hangs when starting in daemon mode I'm trying to start snort with a -D on an OpenBSD 4.7 server, but when I do, I get the following: ids-1 /etc/snort# /usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.by.fxp0.conf -u _snort -g _snort -l /var/snort/log -i fxp0 -D 0x82a25800 sleep_wait 15 -c---W---f 0000 main And then the console hangs. If I run a ps aux, I get this: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND _snort 28637 1.9 12.1 75756 63120 ?? Ss 10:59AM 1:12.40 /usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.by.fxp0.conf -u _snort -g _snort -l /var/snort/log -i fxp0 -D [... snipped processes ...] root 13116 0.0 5.6 28676 29428 p1 S+ 10:59AM 0:20.07 /usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.by.fxp0.conf -u _snort -g _snort -l /var/snort/log -i fxp0 -D So it appears that there's a problem in changing to the _snort user. In /etc/passwd I have the user defined as: _snort:*:557:557:Snort Account:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin and when I look at /var/log/messages, I can see that it is loading up and running as expected, but not letting go of the console. Does anyone have a hint on what's going on and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance, - chris
