I am running snort in test mode with the following command to get the error
message displayed below. Please help me.

Command: snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf /usr/local/bin/snort -A console
-q -u root -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth2

Error Message: ERROR: Can't set DAQ BPF filter to '/usr/local/bin/snort'

Fatal Error, Quitting..

The error is relatively clear - you have an erroenous
'/usr/local/bin/snort' in the middle of your command line.

To test the Snort configuration:

/path/to/snort -i ethX -c /etc/snort/snort-cluster.conf -T 
(where X is 0/1 for eth0, eth1 etc.)

Your command above is a combination of testing and actually running Snort.
