Sorry to ask you to repeat this, but to clarify:

Only 2.6.0.x was affected?  What about 2.6.1 or 2.6.2?

Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] Undefined variable name eth0_ADDRESS

Hi folks,

I'm trying to run snort 2.6.0.2 and such errors:
snort[10786]: FATAL ERROR: Undefined variable name:
(/etc/snort/snort.conf:34): eth1_ADDRESS
snort[10833]: FATAL ERROR: Undefined variable name:
(/etc/snort/snort.conf:51): eth0_ADDRESS

In my config file  I have:
var HOME_NET $eth1_ADDRESS
var EXTERNAL_NET $eth0_ADDRESS

Those variables work with 2.4.x snort but not with 2.6.x

Any ideas?


Cheers

Remus


This issue has been fixed in CVS 2.6.1 and HEAD.

Some snort.c rearranging was done in 2.6.x where the reading
of the snort.conf file was done before this variable was set.

Thanks, Remus for pointing this out.
