Snort 2.0.6 fails to close portscan.log on SIGHUP

[Bill McCarty <bmccarty () pt-net net>]

Hi all,

Lsof shows that Snort 2.0.6 under Gentoo appears not to close portscan.log 
upon receiving SIGHUP:

> snort     31098     root    6u   REG        3,2       0      65607
> /var/log/snort/portscan.log.2 (deleted)

> snort     31098     root    8u   REG        3,2       0      65614
> /var/log/snort/portscan.log.1

> snort     31098     root   10u   REG        3,2       0      65620
> /var/log/snort/portscan.log

> snort     31098     root   11w   REG        3,2     920      65621
> /var/log/snort/alert_full

> snort     31098     root   12w   REG        3,2     577      65626
> /var/log/snort/alert_fast


Can anyone else confirm this on Gentoo or another platform?

Cheers,
