Re: Snort works fine with community rules. After importing the complete set using oinkmaster, it fails to generate alerts

You don't receive any errors on startup?  Just a successful start?

Also, you should stop using oinkmaster and migrate to pulledpork.

Basically I configured my Snort and it works fine with the community-rules. Alerts arrive perfectly when doing a NMAP 
scan and other tests.

The problem is that after installing the registered version of the rules using oinkmaster, I do not receive any alert. 
I did add the rules with their path in the snort.conf file.

Status appears to be fine:

I haven't modified anything, except adding the rules using oinkmaster. If I rollback, it works fine with 
community-rules.

Anyone has any ideas? Sorry for being so unspecific, but I'm a bit lost here.
