Hi all,

      Exists some problem/bug with multiple configs in snort 2.9.7.5?? I
have updated one of my sensors to this release and multiple configs
doesn't works ... Always use the first config file defined in config
binding section.

https://www.snort.org/faq/how-do-i-ask-a-good-question-on-the-snort-list

you have given us nothing to work with... we can't even make a start at
WAGs...

Ok, I have attached all config files implied plus the output of "snort -c
snort.conf -T".

As you can see in the output, I have defined a different logdir for both
configs, but snort output only "sees" the default value "/var/log/snort"
...
For bpf_filter options is the same. I need to define different bpf
filters
for both configs, but bpf_filter option is no t read by snort.
logdir is not configurable by policy (same for most config options).  Check
here:

http://manual.snort.org/node25.html#SECTION003102100000000000000
Them the only options configurable in multiple configs (apart of
define rules and vars) are these:

config checksum_drop
config disable_decode_alerts
config disable_decode_drops
config disable_ipopt_alerts
config disable_ipopt_drops
config disable_tcpopt_alerts
config disable_tcpopt_drops
config disable_tcpopt_experimental_alerts
config disable_tcpopt_experimental_drops
config disable_tcpopt_obsolete_alerts
config disable_tcpopt_obsolete_drops
config disable_ttcp_alerts
config disable_tcpopt_ttcp_alerts
config disable_ttcp_drops

??

But If I remember well, in previous snort versions it would be
possible to configure logdir and bpf filter file for every multiple
config ... Isn't it??
Not that I recall.
