RE: Snort as a service in W2k

["Johnson, David" <DJohnson () IronMountain com>]

As an idea, make sue that when you are testing running Snort from the
command line that you start in C:\ and run with the same command line
options (this will recreate the service's attempt to start).  I have had
similar experiences setting up the service where the problem was one of a
path typo or some other such silly mistake.

Good luck.

I have set up snort1.8  to run as a service per Micheal Steele's
instructions, and it doesn't run.  I have set it up before, and its always
been fine.  This time I can't get it to work.  It starts, but I don't see
snort running under task manager, and no alert.ids file is created.  If I
run it from the command prompt it runs just fine, ie alerts.ids is created
and snort is running in task manager.  I can't find anything wrong with the
way I set up the service.
