      My thanks to JamesDean and anyone else working on this problem.  I know others appreciate the hard work done with this and all other packages.  It's not a easy task keeping up with technology, or life for that matter.

      Thanks!

              I updated the the snort package today to fix the md5 error and snort.org's new oink code verification urls for rule updates.

              Snort should work but there might be errors when snort.org goes down.
              I still need to add code for primium snort.org oink users and clean up the code.
              Have patience.

              I need people to install the snort package post here. Post failers and success here. Please post your pfsense version and system specs.
              Remember to update the rules befor starting snort after reinstall.

              If anyone cares this is what happened this month with the snort package.

              1. Snort.org changed there code codebase for rpc, result broke the pfsense snort packge.

              2. I fixed the snort package.

              3. Snort.org changed there md5 checksum format, result broke the pfsense snort packge.

              4. I fixed the snort package.

              5. Snort.org changed there urls, result broke the pfsense snort packge.

              6. I fixed the snort package.

              7. Snort.org changed there new oink code verification system , result broke the pfsense snort packge.

              8. I fixed the snort package. All is good so far.

              Thanx
              James

              P.S. 1clicc

              Its normal.
              Snort is just telling you you need to adjust your rules for your system. Read the snort manual for more help.

                        Man oh man.

                        Snort.org changed the way there files are downloaded. Third night in a row….
                        The md5 file downloads but is emty. This is there way to enforce the 15 min wait for updates.

                        thanx

                                Snort up and running again.

                                Running pfsense 1.2.2

                                ReInstalled snort package, downloaded the rules.
                                Had to save the rules before I could start snort, otherwise it said unable to load the rules.

                                Thanks for all the hard work!

                                      Please check your pm.

                                      Also if you need hardware for development I have no problem getting you an Alix Board… Unless you really need a Mini-ITX than I can look in to the Mini-ITX form factor but I would prefer donating a Brand new Alix board to you. If interested please PM.
                                      Somebody else can pitch in the rest of the hardware??

                                      Take Care!
