Re: Snort Error

[Paraskevas Lampadas <parislampadas () gmail com>]

As I mentioned on my first message :

Everything is fine except that i get alerts coming from my internal network
as attacks, which are false alarms. On /etc/snort/snort.conf i have set the
EXTERNAL NET as any.

I tried to make as !$HOME NET, but then the snort fails to load at startup.
If i change it back to any everything works fine.

How else can i avoid receiving alerts from my internal network?
