pfsense has a paid version as well.
"nothing is free in life" - said by a lot of people, this is the gotcha behind all free software, little things like this happen, and usually it is fixed within hours when noticed, happened with clam av, they disabled all version of the program but the most recent, a lot of people were affected not just pfsense, as in this case as well, all users of snort are affected, see the post mentioned by g4m3c4ck.

@cdx304
It would be nice to have more info on your problem.
What were doing when this error happened ?
What version of pfsense are you running on ?
Seems like some of your configs are missing.
Quick fix is to resave your settings on the interface_edit.php tab.James

I was doing nothing at all when snort dies .And snort will not start with pfsense after reboot .This started after the last snort update 1.26?
