Always a good idea.  Anytime a new release of snort comes out, there tend to
be inherent changes to the snort.conf that address and handle the new
features (i.e. dcerpc2).  So please be sure to at a minimum run a diff on
your curret vs the new snort.conf

I'm having the same problem

Initializing rule chains...

and I found this post:

I can't find "preprocessor dcerpc_server: default" in snort.conf to
disable, but I think it's because my snort.conf is old.  I'm going to try
and upgrade my snort.conf to the latest version (v2.8.4.1).  If you haven't
upgraded your snort.conf in a while I may suggest you try the same.

       After updating this morning I see:

       Jun 16 08:12:25 10.21.10.2 snort[7899]: FATAL ERROR: Warning:

       Version is:

       Version 2.8.4.1 (Build 38)

       Do I need to update snort?  Thanks.


No, but you do need to enable the dce/rpc2 preprocesor in your snort.conf
