Re: can't remember why... snot prepends /etc/ to paths resulting in /etc//foo

What's this? -> var $SNORT_HOME /var/snort

You have a "$" there incorrectly, I think, and something goofy is happening. FWIW, I don't have that var anywhere in my 
snort.conf. Maybe this var is set in a parent startup shell script and somehow the redef is appending to it?

Um - RULE_PATH in snort.conf?

Also see SO_RULE_PATH and PREPROC_RULE_PATH.

yeah, all those are set or else it wouldn't have that part of the path in the 
error messages...

var $SNORT_HOME /var/snort
var RULE_PATH $SNORT_HOME/rules
var SO_RULE_PATH $SNORT_HOME/so_rules
var PREPROC_PATH $SNORT_HOME/preproc_rules
