Description Jason Wallace 2011-09-13 17:43:26 UTC
net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.5 has been in portage for quite a while now and I have just submitted a version bump to go to 2.9.1. We should stabilize snort-2.9.0.5 for at least x86 and amd64. 

Reproducible: Always

@jason:

I simply do:
amd64box ~ # cp /etc/snort/snort.conf.distrib /etc/snort/snort.conf

but it fails to start:

amd64box ~ # /etc/init.d/snort start
snort           | * Starting snort ...                                                                     
snort           | * ERROR: snort failed to start


Tell me/us if there are other to do.
Comment 2 Jason Wallace 2011-09-13 18:34:07 UTC
you have to tailor the config file to get it to work. Simply adding the following to snort.conf might be enough to get it to run:

config daq: pcap
config daq_mode: passive
config daq_dir: /usr/lib64/daq

I believe that is mentioned in the post install message.

you also will need to check that IFACE is set to an interface on your system.
Comment 3 Jason Wallace 2011-09-13 18:34:51 UTC
sorry IFACE is a variable in the conf.d file.

amd64 ok


take a look at bug 382865 and bug 382863. They are not a block.

Also fails with the static use flag.
compile test only on x86
Comment 9 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2012-03-11 14:11:14 UTC
I've removed a lot of the older ebuilds and made 2.9.1 stable on x86/amd64.  ppc, ppc64, will have to mark 2.9.0.5 or later as stable, and arm/sparc will need to re-keyword.
