Re: Snort failed to stay up after upgrade to 2.9.6.0

Hi,

To paste everything is not possible as I have to type one by one. Don't ask why. Don't want to get into it :)

ldconfig -p | grep libdnet
libdnet.so.1 (libc6, x86-64) => /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/libdnet.so.1
libdnet.so.1 (libc6, x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1
libdnet.so (libc6,x86) => /usr/lib64/libdnet.so


snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0
.
.
.
Pcap DAQ configured to passive
Acquiring network traffic from eth0
Reload thread starting
Reload thread started, thread 0x7f7856b0f700
Decoding Ethernet
snort: symbol lookup error: snort: undefined symbol: rand_open
Then back to prompt.

Thanks.

Regards,
Feroz Basir
