Hi

I want to use SNORT as SERVICE. I have some problem while starting the service.

i've installed using the command

snort  /SERVICE  /INSTALL -i1 -dev -l C:\snort\log -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf

it says snort installed sucessfully. when i start the service by the command

net start snortsvc

it says an error
--------------------------------
system error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied
--------------------------------

i was not able to fix the error, can any one help me in this regard,

My OS is Windows 2000 Advance Server and iam logged on as an Administrator.


thanx in advance,

Best regds,
