Fatal Error running Snort on Solaris
Posted by randymchugh on May 18, 2005 11:21:47
I am getting the following error when trying to start snort on Solaris 8
bash-2.03# /usr/local/bin/snort -A full -c /usr/local/doc/snort/etc -l /tmp/sno
rt.log -N -y
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /tmp/snort.log
Initializing Network Interface hme0
--== Initializing Snort ==--
Initializing Output Plugins!

Initializing rule chains...
ERROR: /usr/local/doc/snort/etc(1) => NULL rule type

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get it running? As anyone seen this error before and have an idea of the cause?
Thanks

Hi Randy, I've not tried snort on solaris, but I've found this page on Network security, which might be of some help, it seems to suggest that snort might be looking in the wrong place for the rules files, check it out -

hopefully this helps,
Cheers,
Chris
