Hello all,

I've compiled snort and able to run in sniffer / packet logger mode.
But when i try to run snort in IDS mode as
# snort -c /var/snort/etc/snort.conf
-----------gives error (bus error)as given below(gdb output).

GDB output:
##########

My another Q! is does basic conf will work withotu any modification or
need
to  ''edit''   conf file before using with "-c".

No.  You _must_ edit it.  It's commented quite well.

And _PLEASE_ read the docs!  Everything that you've asked has been
answered in there.  Once it becomes obvious that you're not trying to help
yourself by reading, the amount of help from list members drops
dramatically...

Cheers!
