Hi! In snort.conf, I have HOME_NET var set like this: var HOME_NET $eth1_ADDRESS I start snort, but it does not start. In /var/log/messages I get the following information: Mar 22 01:44:01 snortbox snort: FATAL ERROR: Undefined variable name: (/etc/snort/snort.conf:46): eth1_ADDRESS Mar 22 01:44:01 snortbox kernel: device eth1 left promiscuous mode I have to set the IP address of the box manually, but this IP address is assigned by my ISP, so it would be much better if "var HOME_NET $eth1_ADDRESS" method worked! An excerpt from my snort.conf: ################################################### # Step #1: Set the network variables: # # You must change the following variables to reflect your local network. The # variable is currently setup for an RFC 1918 address space. # # You can specify it explicitly as: # # var HOME_NET 10.1.1.0/24 # # or use global variable $<interfacename>_ADDRESS which will be always # initialized to IP address and netmask of the network interface which you run # snort at. Under Windows, this must be specified as # $(<interfacename>_ADDRESS), such as: # $(\Device\Packet_{12345678-90AB-CDEF-1234567890AB}_ADDRESS) # # var HOME_NET $eth0_ADDRESS # # You can specify lists of IP addresses for HOME_NET # by separating the IPs with commas like this: # # var HOME_NET [10.1.1.0/24,192.168.1.0/24] # # MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PLACE ANY SPACES IN YOUR LIST! # # or you can specify the variable to be any IP address # like this: # var HOME_NET any #var HOME_NET $eth1_ADDRESS <----ERROR var HOME_NET YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY/32 #obscured my current IP address Im running snort 2.1.1 on Fedora Core 1. What could be wrong? Any ideas ? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
