The snort rc script in the portage tree still uses the opts variable, causing noise whenever it gets used. I fixed this in place on my systems but the real version should probably be updated. Here is a diff of the changes I made to resolve this issue: --- /usr/portage/net-analyzer/snort/files/snort.rc11 2011-09-22 10:39:51.000000000 -0700 +++ /etc/init.d/snort 2012-12-05 10:40:14.000000000 -0800 @@ -3,7 +3,8 @@ # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-analyzer/snort/files/snort.rc11,v 1.1 2011/09/22 17:39:51 patrick Exp $ -opts="checkconfig reload" +extra_commands="checkconfig" +extra_started_commands="reload" depend() { need net Reproducible: Always

Sorry to have kept you waiting that long for an obviously correct fix.
