What is the error message when Snort does not initialize? Have a look at the Fedora guide on Snort website under the documents section. It discusses the permissions required.

I created the user and group, but when I use -g and -u, Snort won't initialize. The permissions must be the issue. Is there a way to diagnose the permissions? Thanks again, Redcrosse.

In this case Snort initializes with a superior account and then drops privileges to that of the defined /user/group. YM ______________________________________________________________________
