SNORT service stops
-
Hi all,
pfsense 1.2.3-RELEASE
SNORT 2.8.4.1_5 pkg v.1.7SNORT was configured to auto-update rules, and has been OK. However it seems to just quit; daily. So I config'd it to update rules daily, as a manual update restarts the service OK - but that didn't seem to help. The manual updates still work, and it starts OK - but I can't figure out why it stops in the first place. When running, it works great…blocks offending IP's etc like a champ.

Wait what ?
Does snort stop after auto updates or does does snort stop after a few minutes of start ?

It seems to quit after a few hours or more, not sure. Not sure if it's actually stopping and cant' restart after the auto-updates, that's just a hunch. I just know that when I check it on a daily basis, it's usually stopped. I can re-start the service from the webgui OK. Manually updating the rules also seems to restart the service OK.
Now that I've done that for today, I know that by tomorrow the SNORT service will be in a Stopped status.
Sorry if that wasn't clear the first time :(

No biggy, sounds like the manual download rules code needs to be mirrored with the auto rules code.
I be on that in a bit.Thnks
