To all who can help: I have a FreeBSD system that's having some issues. I'm trying to build and run snort-2.2.0. I also get the same issue with the 2.1.3 version from the ports collection. ---------------------------------------------- Here's the error snort produces ---------------------------------------------- router# /usr/local/bin/snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort.conf -i em0 Running in IDS mode Log directory = /var/log/snort Initializing Network Interface em0 ERROR: OpenPcap() device em0 open: (no devices found) /dev/bpf0: Device not configured Fatal Error, Quitting.. ---------------------------------------------- Here's the system information: ---------------------------------------------- The system has two Intel Gigabit Ethernet cards (em0 and em1). I've got libpcap (v. 0.8.3) installed. I've successfully compiled snort with the following commands: ./configure --with-mysql and --with-flexresp make make install The kernel is custom built with bpf support enabled. Here's the important info from uname -v: FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #5: Mon Aug 2 13:54:29 CDT 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Here's my question ---------------------------------------------- Is the problem related to GigE and libpcap, or have I done something else wrong during the compile? What can be done to fix the issue? Thanks, Matthew Lee ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
