If I remember right this has been posted on the list some days before (can't
find it in the archive, strange).

I think this is nothing special with my RPM but with snort itself, maybe a
buffer overflow (I'm not very familiar with debugging in linux).

Marty, you might have a look on it.

Regards,
Sandro

Hi Sandro,

First of all, thank you Sandro for your contrib with your site.

I installed the snort you packed in rpm and got a strange
result. Well,
first let me show the sistem: RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.2-2,
mysql-3.23.36-1,
libpcap-0.4-39 (all rpm).
I configured snort to log in a remote mysql server where I
have another
snort logging. It started perfectly but there were no new
sensor id added in
the table snort.sensor.
For testing I did: "ping 192.168.1.100 -s 65507" the snort
died. Here is the
output of "gdb snort core":

(gdb) backtrace
#0  0x81807f7e in ?? ()

rtld_fini=0x4000e184
<_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffffb1c)
    at ../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:129


The strange thing is that the other machine where I have
snort and libpcap
compiled locally the snort don't die.

Could anyone help me?

thank's

Bruno Gimenes Pereti.

You might want to have a look on my Snort-Statistics-HOWTO at

l where I
used
swatch to send emails and winpopups.

Ciao,
