you are correct... but wait! what are the names of your blacklist and whitelist files as defined for the reputation processor? there is known confusion between (EG:) GID:1 blacklist.rules and reputation processor black_list.rules files and that is exacerbated when both sets reside in the same directory... the ones for the reputation processor are in simple IP and/or IP/CIDR format whereas the others are in the standard text rules format... looking closer at the error message, it specifically states "invalid IP address" which leads me to believe that the file name(s) for your reputation processor are incorrect... so, check your snort.conf at the reputation processor and see what those file names are that are specified there... then make sure that those names are /not/ included in the list of rules files at the bottom of snort.conf... [HINT: more specifically, one set of file names has an underscore '_' in it and the other does not... watch for this and do not get confused by it... RECOMMENDATION: name the files specific to the reputation processor to something significantly different than the normal textual blacklist rules file... maybe RPP_black.rules and RPP_white.rules where RPP stands for Reputation Preprocessor... anything that is different from the others and will alleviate the confusion]
