Strange, isn't it? I'm going to rebuild again and link against the default libpcap that came with the OS. I avoided this in the beginning as I built the most recent packages.
# snort -v snort.c:681: Parsing command line... snort.c:701: Processing cmd line switch: v snort.c:1165: Verbose Flag active Failed to lookup for interface: SIOCGIFCONF: Operation not supported.
Please
specify one with -i switch Fatal Error, Quitting..

From the error message it looks like it's trying to go into readback mode (like you had used the -r switch). Try just snort -v and see what happens. -Marty On 3/18/02 1:00 AM, "Chris Arnold" <chris.arnold () WheelHouse com> wrote:
Hi, all. I had a whim to build snort 1.8.3 (with libpcap 0.7.1) for an
old
FreeBSD box. Everything compiles nicely but running is a different story: # snort -v -i fxp0 Log directory = /var/log/snort Initializing Network Interface fxp0 ioctl(SIOC*MTU): Operation not supported Automagic MTU discovery failed. Using default 1500ERROR: OpenPcap() device fxp0 open: fxp0: Invalid argument Fatal Error, Quitting.. Rebuild with debugging enabled and report back? The default tcpdump for
the
box runs without a problem.
