Let me see if I can find anything out on this on the internal websites.  I'm
not currently running this combination.

Subject: [Snort-users] Problems with Snort on SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernel 2.6)


All,
 
We are having customers reporting Snort 2.1.1 not working on SuSE Linux 9.1.
When trying to start Snort, they report a Fatal Error message from pcap.
 
Is anyone aware of a bugfix that may have been made in 2.1.1 -> 2.1.3? Or
has anyone on this list seen the same problems when using SuSE 9.1, kernel
2.6 and Snort?
 
Is it a problem introduced with the 2.6 kernel in Snort or is it pcap?
 
Thanks,
