Thanks Waldo for reply.

As I have done in new installation, as per knowledge (from pdf ;) )

I have not created any link to /etc/init.d/snort

ok...

*other than /usr/local/bin*. So symbolic link is only at

/usr/local/bin which we have discussed earlier.

Other not exist as per I setup.

ok... then it should work if centos uses only /etc/init.d files...

    AFAICT, it never has... you were starting a new copy of snort that was running
    in packet dump mode...

    did you have to create any links in /etc/rc.d or similar to point to
    /etc/init.d/snort when you set it up? you might want to check to see if those
    links are still connected and connected to the /etc/init.d/snortd script file...
    you might even want to remove those links and redo them with the new snortd name
    instead of the old snort name... i don't have that pdf any more so i don't know
    if there was something about the links or not...
