Set Home and Rules_path variables to /etc/snort and /rules respectively. Now test it with snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf. If it returns success then run with snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf. Also make sure that there are right permissions set for /etc/snort directory. Swapnil Sent from my iPhone On Jun 3, 2012, at 2:19 AM, Giuseppe Triolo <fastfouriertransform () hotmail com> wrote:
