FATAL ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(0) Unable to open rules file "/etc/snort/snort.conf": Permission denied.#012

[Bogdan Grabinski <bogdan () grabinski com>]

OS Centos 6.5
intel 64bit

When I use:
service snortd start
I get message that it fails, and /var/log/messages report FATAL ERROR

If I copy the same script from /etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd to /root

then starting the snort as:
/root/snortd start
works well ( no problems )


Please help
