Ok. i didnt read your mail completely. :) Why dont you download snort.tar.gz from snort.org then do a - tar zxvf snort.1.8.6.tar.gz (assuming that you got 1.8.6 version) then you will see a snort-1.8.6 directory do a cd snort-1.8.6 there you will see all files. now do ./configure and a make make install After this you will be able to run snort :) ./configure will look for any libpcap library available. if you do not have libpcap download the same from tcpdump.org and install it same above step applies. tar zvxf libpcap-0.6.2.tar.gz cd libpcap-0.6.2 ./configure make make install -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net]On Behalf Of Ashley Thomas Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 12:58 AM To: red z; snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] More snort problems Are you starting off by downloading a snort-1.8.*.tar.gz ? -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net]On Behalf Of red z Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 12:01 AM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] More snort problems Yes, I'm an idiot I know what you're thinking.. Ok, in a nutshell I cant do ANYTHING with snort except snort -v . I want to be able to use the NIDS damnit!! Im running freebsd 4.6. I installed snort by /stand/sysinstall then packages, security, then snort. Maybe it's because my IQ is below a dozen I dont know, but I cant get NIDS running for the life of me. freebsd installed snort in /usr/local/bin/snort So far my problems are: 1. I cant find snort.conf (or any snort file for that matter) 2. Permissions? I made a directory called snort in /var/log to see if it would fix it and then I did the command snort -h 172.16.0.1/10 -c snort.conf -l/snort/ -dev still an error message! If someone has the time/patience and kindness to email me step by step idiot proof directions I would be forever in your debt. I am totally lost Lost man ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? New! SBC Yahoo! Dial - 1st Month Free & unlimited access
