Re: Snort as Service on Win2K - Stu

["larc" <larc () pandora be>]

Hi,
I had the same problem and I fixed it by creating a bat file like this.

cd c:\snort\
snort /service /install -c c:\snort\rules\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i1

The trick was that I first had to go to the directory.
Hope this helps for you
