:: I'm still having troubles getting snortd to start, so I reinstalled the :: 1.90beta6 build from snort.org. Now when I execute snort I receive this error. :: :: ERROR: Unable to open rules file: /root/.snortrc or /root//root/.snortrc Perhaps a silly question, but why are you using the beta when the stable version is already out, and has been so for over 2 months? http://www.snort.org/dl/snort-1.9.0.tar.gz As to why snort is looking for the rules file there, it checks in $HOME/.snortrc for the rule file if you don't give it one on the command line.
