RE: snort don't start

["Harper, Patrick" <patrick.harper () phns com>]

Or do a snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf and look at the output.  If it
starts that way then you could have a problem with your init script.
If it does not start that way then it will spit out an error message

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] snort don't start

tail your logs for clues as to why it is not starting properly...

with two consoles open, execute

tail -f /var/log/messages

in one of them, and then

/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd start

in the other...
