My Q! is there any bug in snort that won't create etc/snort.conf and rules dir under installation path or do we need to move manually to the installation path?
No bug. It's by design. Install it where you wish, it doesn't matter. It's as simple as: cp etc/* /opt/etc/snort/ cp rules/* /opt/etc/snort/rules Or wherever you want. I personally like something like: /etc/snort/ /etc/snort/rules /etc/snort.conf symlinked to /etc/snort/snort.conf That allows you to leave off the -c /path/to/snort.conf on the command line since that's one of the default places that snort will look for a config file.
and no need to use snort.conf file(all available in cmd line options of snort)?
*shrug* It depends on the mode you want. Snort has three modes: Sniffer Packet Logger NIDS You don't need a snort.conf for the first two, but you need it for the NIDS mode. Read the Snort manual. This is documented in the first few paragraphs. :) Amazing all the stuff we hide in the docs isn't it? Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
