      With the 1.0.1 update installed snort will not startup properly after a reboot of pfsense. I have snort running in ac-sparsebands mode. I get a snort inilization error failed in the system log. The only way to get Snort to startup after the reboot is to click 'Save' under 'Snort settings'. Anyone else noticed this issue?

        Just installed 1.0.1 in a vmware vm and then installed snort, configured and rebooted.  Each time snort was started as it should be.

          Hmm. Odd. I just rebooted again and it worked. I swear it didn't work last time. I will see if I can find the pattern to reproduce it.

            Ignore my previous post, it did it again after a few minutes. After about 5 minutes of up time, the snort process exits. Here's the log:

                I have 512mb, and after clicking 'save' it boots up fine. Far as I can tell no other processes are killed either.

                And this line is incorrect:

                  We recommend 1024 megs.

                    Yea I've seen that. I didn't have problems with starting up until 1.0.1. I'll try getting more ram and see if that  solves it.

                      Nothing in snort changed in 1.0.1 except for 2 filter rules changes and the startup messages shown in the system log.

                      Hardly anything related to this.

                        Upgraded to a new system: P4 2.4ghz, 1GB ram, 300gb HD (with 2gb swap).

                        Snort will not start up upon reboot. I have to click 'Save' under settings each time to get it to boot up.

                        I now have plenty of memory. When Snort does startup properly after clicking save, the total memory usage hovers around 57%. So I know it's not a memory issue now.

                        Also, there is no way this log statement is correct:

                          Uninstall snort and reinstall.

                            That seems to have taken care of it. Did you make any changes?

                              You probably installed during the development of the startup notification code.  I'll bump the version this weekend.

                                Grr. I just rebooted again, and it did not start up. I can't seem to find a pattern here.

                                  ok. The problem still exists. I've rebooted 5 times. Inbetween each reboot, I waited 10 minutes. During the first 3 minutes on each reboot, Snort would start to initialize. 3-4 minutes after rebooting, snort will exit. Only way to get snort to start is to click 'save' under snort settings. After clicking 'save' and about 3 minutes later, snort completes initialization and I start to receive alerts.

                                  Here's the log of when it fails:

                                        I am also seeing snort randomly restart itself. It seems to happen in the middle of the night. Anyone seeing this in their logs?

                                          DHCP?  It restarts after renewing the lease.  Normal.

                                            Ok. That would explain random restarts. However, sometimes when it restarts at night it does not fully initialize and will terminate. I have to click save to start it up again.
