Yes, the script is altering snort.conf and is using eth1_ADDRESS (or any 
ethX_ADDRESS) without defining it first.  I suggest that in 
/etc/sysconfig/snort that you set SNORT_AUTO to 'no' and manually set 
your HOME_NET variable in snort.conf.  (And notify SUSE that their 
script doesn't work)

Thanks
Todd
