Yes, the script is altering snort.conf and is using eth1_ADDRESS (or any ethX_ADDRESS) without defining it first. I suggest that in /etc/sysconfig/snort that you set SNORT_AUTO to 'no' and manually set your HOME_NET variable in snort.conf. (And notify SUSE that their script doesn't work) Thanks Todd ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
