Re: Help with oinkmaster

[Andreas Östling <andreaso () it su se>]

Look close and you'll see that it first downloads the 2.3 tarball and 
then the 2.2 tarball. You have for some reason specified two URLs in 
oinkmaster.conf (or multiple -u <url> arguments), where the second one 
points to a non-existent file. Remove the snortrules-snapshot-2_2.tar.gz 
URL and it should work.

I'd also strongly recommend that you make sure you run the latest 
version of Snort and use the 2.4 rules instead, although that has 
nothing do to with this issue.
