RE: Difficulty setting HOME_NET to my interface address

["L. Christopher Luther" <CLuther () Xybernaut com>]

As noted in one of my previous posts, DefineIfaceVar() (at least in my
testing w/ Snort 1.8.6 and 1.8.7) actually creates a variable called
'$\_ADDRESS', not '$_ADDRESS'.  

I've not tested Chris Reid's quoting suggestion, but you could try:  

    var HOME_NET $(\_ADDRESS)

and see what happens.  Good luck.  

Cheers!

When I use:

var HOME_NET $_ADDRESS

I get:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Initializing rule chains...
ERROR => Undefined variable name: (./snort.conf:47): _ADDRESS
Fatal Error, Quitting..

This does not seems to be working either :-\
