hello,
   I was joyfully using 'snort -deD'  in my inittab and now i upgraded to 
1.8.3 and it no longer works. the error that snort is respawning to many 
times keeps appearing. i compiled it with no options. does anybody have a 
guess as why 'snort -deD' doesn't work with inittab anymore?


So it should. There should not be -D (daemon) option. Otherwise snort
will fork, and exit (spawning daemon mode. And init will restart it
cuz it will not follow the child process.
