Snort Problem

["Evan Himmel" <ehimmel () primelink1 net>]

I am running snort on my linux box.  I have dsl the uses pppoe.  My IP doesn't change that often but in the config 
file, I use $ppp0_AADRESS as my HOME_NET.  It works fine for awhile but then dies.  When I restart it it says
" ERROR: Unable to open rules file: exploit.rules".  What can I do to stop this?


Thanks
Evan
