I had similar problem with snort on RH6.2 - turns out I had to specify the hard path in the conf file to point to the rules: include /etc/snort/local.rules I had to do this for all the rules. Just an idea... ----------------------------------- Aaron McKinnon System Administrator Fullerene Productions, Inc. 3250 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 2000 Los Angeles, CA 90010 213.365.1692 ----------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net]On Behalf Of Colin Wu Sent: Friday, June 08, 2001 9:32 AM To: Snort Users Subject: [Snort-users] Error: unable to open local.rules I periodically HUP my snort (v1.7) to checkpoint the binary dump log, but occasionally snort will die with the message: " ERROR: Unable to open rules file: local.rules" in syslog. At this point I have to rename the local.rules file and make a new copy (mv local.rules local; cp local local.rules).
