I'm a little confused when I start the service it says ok but once I checked the status it says other wise. Adding the proper user account corrected the orginal issue but now it looks like I have a problem with my snort service. I currently have this running on a Redhat 8.0 box using Snort 2.0 Acid and Webmin as Gui. Thanks for your help Nick Starting snort: [ OK ] [root@d1 root]# ./snortd status snort dead but subsys locked [root@d1 root]# ps auxww | grep snort root 1396 0.0 0.1 3276 628 pts/1 S 18:15 0:00 grep snort -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:chris () kive net] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 4:58 PM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] unable to start snort Without seeing the script that you have written or are using to launch snort in this case, the best bet would be to check why it is trying to use a user named "snort" and whether or not you have appropriate users/groups included in your /etc/passwd. Can you provide version, OS, configuration info, and what you've done so far, etc.... that would be a help in trying to help you.
