Snort not starting from init.d


Posted by fill on March 16, 2005 02:27:59

Hi;

I have just installed Snort. However when I try starting it (snortd start) I get the following error message:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd start
/etc/sysconfig/snort: line 1: ELF: command not found
Starting snort: [FAILED]

If I go into the the /etc/sysconfig/ folder and execute Snort from there ./snort [options] it seems to work fine, i.e. the service is running and I am able to log snort data.

I'm running FC3 with Snort 2.2.0

Thanks for you help,

F
