Hi James

 Which version of pulledpork are using?

 Sent from Phone

Latest...0.7.0, however this happens when I try it manually, as per:

http://www.snort.org/snort-rules/shared-object-rules

But ultimately the goal is to have pp do it all..but I get the same 
error attempting to use pp, so eh..I think I need to at least be able to 
do it manually successfully first ;)  I have no idea why it's prepending 
the CONF_PATH with the SORULE_PATH..makes no sense :(  Thanks YM.

 Subject: [Snort-users] Interesting observation with with so rules

So here's what I got...a minimal config just for use with pulledpork:

 var CONF_PATH /opt/etc/snort
 var RULE_PATH /opt/etc/snort/rules
 var LIB_PATH /usr/local/lib
 var SORULE_PATH /opt/etc/snort/so_rules
 var PREPROC_RULE_PATH $RULE_PATH/preproc_rules
 var WHITE_LIST_PATH $RULE_PATH/iplists
 var BLACK_LIST_PATH $RULE_PATH/iplists

 dynamicpreprocessor directory
/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor
 dynamicengine /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so
 dynamicdetection directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules

 include /opt/etc/snort/classification.config
 include /opt/etc/snort/reference.config

 include $SORULE_PATH/bad-traffic.rules

 If I leave the bad-traffic.rules line and try to dump the stubs,
here's
 what I get:

 /opt/bin/snort -c /opt/etc/snort/sid-msgmap.conf
 --dump-dynamic-rules=/opt/etc/snort/so_rules/
 Running in Rule Dump mode

 --== Initializing Snort ==--

 Parsing Rules file "/opt/etc/snort/sid-msgmap.conf"
 ERROR: /opt/etc/snort//opt/etc/snort/so_rules/bad-traffic.rules(0)
 Unable to open rules file
 "/opt/etc/snort//opt/etc/snort/so_rules/bad-traffic.rules": No such
file
 or directory.

 Fatal Error, Quitting..

 If I comment it out, everything works....is there something I'm
totally
 missing? Thanks for the assist all...setting up a new machine and
this
 has me stumped.
