snort user not known

[L Henry Williams <hwilliam () tcainternet com>]

Sorry to post to all, but I have checked the faq and searched vis geocrawler archives for snort
for answers to my question.

I just installed snort via a redhat rpm, and I am getting the error messasge below.

[root@cdmtylr init.d]# ./snortd start
Starting snort: [!] ERROR: User "snort" unknown
                                                          [FAILED]
[root@cdmtylr init.d]# 

and when I try to do /usr/sbin/snort-update I get the same thing. Also when booting now I have the same
snortd failed message during boot-up.

I can start snort like /usr/sbin/snort -v or whatever, and see it's working.
Any help appreciated.

Henry
