Re: Snort failed to stay up after upgrade to 2.9.6.0

[Feroz Basir <feroz.basir () gmail com>]

Hi,

My bad. Should have run as root :). Now I'm getting this error:

Snort: symbol lookup error: snort: undefined symbol: rand_open

Googling shows something to do with libdnet. Mine is ver 1.12. lddconfig -v shown no error.

Thanks.


Regards,
Feroz Basir
