2.1 Where do I find binary packages for BlueHat BSD-Linux-RT?

Repeat after me:

    wget http://www.snort.org/downloads/snort-stable.tgz
    tar zxvf snort-stable.tgz
    cd snort-stable
    ./configure
    make
    su
    make install
    mkdir /var/log/snort
    cd etc
    vi snort.conf
    snort -D -c snort.conf
    exit

...and if you want to use our binary package uninstaller :-):

    cd snort-stable; make uninstall
And if you must, you can find some binaries at http://www.snort.org/dl/binaries/. You can also find Snort in most BSD ports' trees.
