Re: Snort Configuration Problem

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

You are using a 2.9.2.0 or greater snort.conf with 2.9.1.2. Either upgrade Snort or you'll have to change your 
snort.conf. 

if you search for "snort.conf examples" in Google, the first hit should lead you to the VRT recommended configurations.
