Re: Problem running snort

Hi Zakai,

What is the full command-line you are using to start Snort?  What
happens if you start Snort like this?
snort -c /etc/snort.conf

Thanks,
Doug Burks

Subject: [Snort-users] Problem running snort

I just installed snort 2.8.4.1 on linux lenny and I am getting this
error:  "ERROR: ValidateBPF() FSM compilation failed: 
        syntax error
PCAP command: /etc/snort.conf
Fatal Error, Quitting.."

I compiled both snort and libpcap 1.0.  So far, google has not been my
friend.  The installation went fine.  Does anyone have a clue?


TIA,

ZK
