Iptables does not interfere with snort what so ever. However, if for some reason you want to send a test packet out your snort interface, iptables might be configured to drop it, re-route it, change the contents, or whatever other wonderful things it does to packets before snort (libpcap) sees it.

I'm curious how Snort (well at least libpcap) is affected by IPtables? <assumptions> Libpcap operates at layer 2 and IPtables above that </assumptions> If that is the case I'm assuming that IPtables could be tightened down without interference with Snort? I'm sure that I'm way off, so please enlighten me.
