      @jamesdean:

      Someone reported that enable disable rules are not being saved.

      Just to clarify, I believe that the rules are initially saved, but does not survive either 1) subsequent clicks of the save button  OR 2) new signature set download. I'm not sure exactly when the enable disable rules get flushed as I only noticed this last night. I'll try to pin point when the rules are discarded when I get home tonight.

      Hmm, I can't reproduce this today… not really sure why. Ignore what I said for now. :)

        Just a question.

        If I had snort block, lets say 50 thousand IP numbers or more, would that be a problem for snort or the system?
        Is there a limit? Would it crawl down to a hog after some X number of blocks?

            James,

            Sorry for not responding the last thread, I have been really busy recently… and it has been successful for me.  8)

            I created a repo and pushed a few fixes:

            Changes were not be kept if one only enabled or disabled rules. Should fix ToxIcon and addp009 problems
                Memory stats displays incorrectly under certain circumstances
                Snort may not restart with 'snort.sh restart' from command line

            I've just sent a merge request.

                    ToxIcon,

                    Don't bother with it, it will be corrected soon. You won't have to run any perl script in a few hours.  :)

                    Please wait, and maintain your own settings manually for now until the next update… Or disable a natively enabled rule, it should help.

                      wait a minute.

                      I added Nestorfish to be able to commit to my clone of mainline. (done)
                      Add your changes to my clone then I'll add then to the main repository.

                      I'm realy busy at work these next 3 days.

                      ToxIcon post that rule at that line number.
                      Might be a bad rule.

                        Just installed the latest Snort package on NanoBSD 1.2.3-RC3 built on Sat Oct 17 22:24:29 UTC 2009 (4GB), but the package doesn't seem to remount root filesystem to rw before saving and updating rules. Updating rules gives the following error:

                        Warning: mkdir(/root/snort_rules_up): Read-only file system in /usr/local/www/snort_download_rules.php on line 186

                        Running 'Save' from the Settings tab gives the following (even with root manually mounted rw, it probably remounts to ro at some point):

                        Warning: fopen(/usr/local/etc/snort/threshold.conf): failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /usr/local/pkg/snort.inc on line 999

                          @jamesdean:

                          I have a free afternoon trying to redo the snort interface so that every interface has its own settings and rules but, you guys
                          keep bothering me ;)

                          churchmedic

                          give me the output of

                          cat /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf

                          not sure why - never got a notice on this thread - came back looking …

                          cat /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf

                          snort configuration file

                            Your snort.conf is being built wrong.

                            portvar SMTP_PORTS [25, 587, 465]

                            The above line should have no spaces like the error says. Your custom SMTP ports should be changed to look like this.

                              Perfect for the last fix - thats awesome.
                              I am however also getting issues when trying to see the blocked ip's

                              Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 74957108 bytes) in /usr/local/pkg/snort.inc on line 1488

                              This package is awesome compared to where it was :-)  awesome stuff !

                                I'm having an issue with snort on both my pfSense boxes and I'm not sure how to resolve it or if it's an issue with the current build. I'm running 1.2.3-rc3 with the latest build of snort.

                                I can not access the blocked address page and I seem to be having an issue with snort blocking internal traffic out as well as traffic in that should not be blocked. Road warriors are getting blocked when trying to access PPTP, FTP users are getting blocked and the internal mail server seems to be having it's DNS requests blocked. I've tried disabling rules that didn't apply to our setup, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

                                I'm not sure where to go from here, but if anyone needs any info that might be useful please let me know and I'll post. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

                                  Are you using snorts white list to protect ips you do not want to block ?

                                    yes, but it seems to be blocking IP's that should not be being blocked. For example, getting random emails from outside people or my internal mail server being blocked from sending out. Snort is set to listen to the WAN interface.

                                      Can you see if the file /var/db/whitelist has all the ips you want to protect.

                                        If I add an IP to the whitelist, it will work. The problem is that one site has 150 employee's and the other has 60 or so, so they are emailing to all types of companies all over the world. It would be impossible to know all the IP's without having them be blocked first. Shouldn't snort only block IP's that are actually violating a rule?

                                          Ahh got it, post the Alert in full that is giving you the problem.

                                          We will use thresholding to solve your problem.

                                            I'm not sure what rules are being triggered, I'll have to install it and see what I can do to get something to show up in the logs. I've tried disabling the rules that didn't apply to our setup, but haven't had any luck with that so far. This will probably have to wait until the weekend, as I can't afford any additional downtime and I don't have a way to replicate this in a test environment.

                                            Thanks for the help with this.
