RE: SNMP Support in FreeBSD

[Keith Long <keith.long () air2web com>]

Thanks for the tip Alexey.  I grabbed automake 1.6.3 from gnu.org and
compiled from source.  I was then able to compile snmp support into snort.
I started up snort and then got syntax errors for the trap section in
snort.conf.  So, I dig some digging (the -c community switch is needed but
not documented) and now have the following line in snort.conf.

output trap_snmp: alert, 1, trap -v 2c -p 162 -c supersecret
nms.mydomain.com

Snort now starts without error.  However, I am not getting any traps sent to
my network management station.  When running tcpdump I don't even see any
traps going out, even though there are tons of alerts incrementing.

Once again I ask for help from you snorters.  What am I missing here?
Besides my sanity!

TIA,

Keith

I've got the same problem with patched snort to support spade plugin.
But the error was with automake-1.6 I've managed this problem only
after inslation of automake-1.6 from GNU sources but not from FreeBSD
ports (there isn't 1.6 version in the ports collection) but now my
snort generates core dumps :-(
