snort installation error

[Jun Wan <junwei_wan () hotmail com>]

Hi,

 

I installed SNORT on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 by following http://it.thelibrarie.com/weblog/?p=515

 

snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0

 

I get the following:

 

Running in IDS mode

--== Initializing Snort ==--

Initializing Output Plugins!

Initializing Preprocessors!

Initializing Plug-ins

 

....pls see the attached details of "Snort installation error.rtf"...

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Initializing rule chains...

Warning: /etc/snort/rules/dos.rules(42) => threshold (in rule) is deprecated; use detection_filter instead.

ERROR: /etc/snort/rules/community-smtp.rules(13) => !any is not allowed

Fatal Error, Quitting..

 

Can't find much info via "google", so I would like to have your help.

 

Any info and help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks for your patience with my many Snort questions.

 

Regards

 

John
