Duplicate classification

["Sean Kiewiet" <SKiewiet () prioritypaymentsystems com>]

OBSD            3.7
SNORT           2.3.3

I'm getting the errors below when I start up snort (on each interface).
I have looked through each of the snort.conf files and I can see that
the classification.config is only defined once:

include classification.config

and that classification.config resides in /etc/snort/


I start snort via rc.local like this

nohup /usr/local/bin/snort -u sguil -g sguil -l /nsm/em0 -c
/etc/snort/em0.snort.conf -U -A none -m 122 -i em0 -D


Any ideas on how to remedy?
What causes this error?
