Re: missing snort_dynamicrules directory

["John York" <YorkJ () brcc edu>]

Look in snortrules/so_rules/src/README for instructions on setting up
the .so (dynamic) rules.

Basically, you need to copy the precompiled rules from your snort rules
download (or you can compile them) from
snortrules/so_rules/precompiled... to your .so rules directory (from the
error, my guess is that /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules/ should work.)
Then you need to run snort with --dump-dynamic-rules=<path> to generate
the stub rules.  Finally, add includes to snort.conf to activate the
rules you need.  

PulledPork does a good job of automating this, and it's what I use.

Subject: [Snort-users] missing snort_dynamicrules directory

Hi,

I'm a newbie and i'm trying to install Snort on Ubuntu with the help of
this tutorial:
http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion-detection-with-snort-mysql-apache2-o
n-ubuntu-7.10
I followed the steps and now i'm always finished: it's time to test
snort.

But when i type "snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf", it tells me that:

"ERROR: parser.c(5040) Could not stat dynamic module path
"/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules/bad-traffic.so": No such file or
directory"

I checked and it's true, this directory is missing. How can i fix this?

Thank you,
Adam Szabo
