RE: Rule IP addr (!192.168.1.1) didn't x-late, WTF?

None of my configs have quotes.  I am using snort from CVS, so I am not sure
what older versions need.

Have you tried it without quotes?

var HOME_NET 192.168.1.1/32

It's not secure "Because they told me it was secure".
The people at the other end of the link know less
about security than you do. And that's scary.

Hi,

This slightly fixed the problem but snort will still not start?
here is my error messages

Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix snort: Initializing daemon mode
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix kernel: eth1: Setting promiscuous mode.
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix kernel: device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix snort: ERROR /etc/snort/snort.conf (7) => Rule
netmask (32") didn't x-late, WTF?
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix kernel: device eth1 left promiscuous mode
Jun 27 16:44:20 phoenix snortd: snort startup succeeded

Here are the first few lines of my snort.conf file

var HOME_NET "192.168.1.1/32"
var EXTERNAL_NET any
var DNS_SERVERS
[192.168.1.1/32,61.9.208.13/32,61.9.208.16/32,24.192.1.30/32]

Am I right in assuming the HOME_NET variable is the IP of the machine with
snort running?
Becuase That is the IP address of the machine from inside the firewall.
I can't understand what is going wrong.
