Hi All,

Maybe I missed it, but perhaps if there was a README in the tarball, or
an additional element that was added to the configure script that would
call this option as needing a directory path as an argument it might
make life a little easier.

I'm guessing you probably did....

:0>There should be examples in the snort.conf.

which says:

###################################################
# Step #2: Configure dynamic loaded libraries
#
# If snort was configured to use dynamically loaded libraries,
# those libraries can be loaded here.
#
# Each of the following configuration options can be done via
# the command line as well.
#
# Load all dynamic preprocessors from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-preprocessor-lib-dir)
#
# dynamicpreprocessor directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor/
#
# Load a specific dynamic preprocessor library from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-preprocessor-lib)
#
# dynamicpreprocessor file /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor/libdynamicex
ample.so
#
# Load a dynamic engine from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-engine-lib)
#
# dynamicengine /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so
#
# Load all dynamic rules libraries from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-detection-lib-dir)
#
# dynamicdetection directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule/
#
# Load a specific dynamic rule library from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-detection-lib)
#
# dynamicdetection file /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule/libdynamicexamplerule.s

The manual does not yet contain information on this option or on the
preprocessors that are available dynamically, This is afterall, a
release candidate.

Details on the preprocessors are available in the README.SMTP and
README.ftptelnet of the docs directory in the snort source tarball.
