After upgrading snort to 2.3.0 (was 2.1.x): I get the following error when starting snort: # snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf Running in IDS mode Initializing Network Interface eth0 --== Initializing Snort ==-- Initializing Output Plugins! Decoding Ethernet on interface eth0 Initializing Preprocessors! Initializing Plug-ins! Parsing Rules file /etc/snort/snort.conf +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Initializing rule chains... ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(43) => NULL rule type Fatal Error, Quitting.. Also, I am relatively new in the linux world, and I want to know if I used the right way to make the upgrade. I did the snort install by following Patrick Harper's Snort Install Manual on RH9.0 with snort 2.1.3 with Apache, PHP, MySQl and ACID. Today I upgraded to 2.3.0 doing the following steps: Backup /etc/snort/ # gzip-d -d -c snort-2.3.0.tar.gz | tar xvf - # ./configure # make # make install Copy new *.rules, *.conf, *.config, *.map to /etc/snort/ Re-customize new snort.conf based on the old one. Do I need to do more steps to finish the upgrade ? If yes can it be the reason why I have the previously explained error ? Thanks !
