Hi, snort 2.9.0.4 on OpenBSD 4.7, running fine, but won't daemonize. At the end of the startup messages it says: Spawning daemon child... My daemon child 3777 lives... 0x8151dc00*running 15 -c-------f 0000 main but it doesn't come back to the shell prompt. I can ^C out and see the snort child process. With ^Z, I see 2 snort processes. Obviously the parent won't exit while daemonizing. Any clues why? The daemonized child runs and alerts just fine. This happens regardless whether I use -D on the cmdline, "config daemon" in snort.conf, or both.
