It does not look like the sfportscan preprocessor is turned on.  Try adding
that. Also you could try a real simple rule....  or even verify that you are
seeing traffic by running snort with a -v

Here we go:

/opt/etc/snort/snort.conf

I've also tried what I had before, which was eth1...I was getting alerts
with
older snort version:

Dec 24 08:46:30 gateway snort[1779]: [122:20:0] (portscan) UDP Distributed
Portscan [Priority: 3] {PROTO:255} 66.150.8.4 -> externalIP

But no longer. Complete configline is:

./configure --prefix=/opt --with-dnet-includes=/opt/include
--with-dnet-libraries=/opt/lib --with-daq-includes=/opt/lib
--with-daq-libraries=/opt/lib --enable-ipv6 --enable-zlib

Really strange.

Thank you.

James

What command are you using to start snort? Can you show the results of ps
-ef | grep snort

Thanks JohnÅ not running IPv6, but ehÅ whatever works. Now it seems I've
muffed something as I get no alerts whatsoever even after doing an nmap
on
it. I did have 2.9.0.0 running fine on this, but now it seems nothing
causes an alert. Anyone have any hints on why this would fire any alerts?
I even am testing ping outbound and inbound and nothing. Config below:

SNIP


What command are you using to start snort? What output are you using? Can
you show the results of ps -ef | grep snort
