RE: snort / init.d

if checked that, the permission are right it won't even create the
pidfile in /tmp.
under debian the start-stop-daemon should take care of this, and it does
for other processes, but not for snort. :(
and daemon.log also tells nothing.
could it be an compilation problem ? cause i made debian packages, based
on 2.2.0-9 from debian unstable.
I really ran out of options.

does snort create a pidfile on its own if started from commandline with
-D option ?

please help.
regards
Lars
