I will include all, starting from scripts that I created to help install snort on Centos. The script is snort_install.sh ( I will contribute this script when finished ).
the file snortd is from /etc/rc.d/init.d the starting command from script snortd translate to, or is:daemon /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -b -d -D -i eth0 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort
access to /etc/snort: [root@cafe7 ~]# ls -ld /etc/snort drwxr-xr-x. 5 snort snort 4096 Apr 22 19:42 /etc/snort On 4/23/2014 2:47 AM, Jeremy Hoel wrote:
Please remember to reply to the list. And does snort have rx access to /etc/snort? Not just the files, but the folder.also, what command are you using to start snort? Is it a file that came from the yum repo or did you compile from source and use one included?The error message makes it sound like it's looking for a rule file called /etc/snort/snort.conf, but i don't have a snort box in front of me and you aren't trying to include snort.conf in your snort.conf (self inclusion) so it's not that. it could be the way you're calling snort which is why I'm asking to see the command/script.On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 12:30 AM, Bogdan Grabinski <bogdan () grabinski com <mailto:bogdan () grabinski com>> wrote:I attached snort.conf On 4/23/2014 2:14 AM, Jeremy Hoel wrote:Can you paste the output of your snort.conf file.. Or at least the includes section near the bottom for the rules?
