          How did you manage to update Snort with that fix?  Is it in a new ISO or must I place the new snort_alerts.php there manually?

            Basically, when you see updates in forum and no change in package version, just reinstall(in this case snort package) to get latest files version.

              Yes, I think that worked.  Thanks for filling me in.

                Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I've been having the Unknown output plugin: "alert_pf" problem on my AMD64 pfSense 2.0 install.

                I originally thought it could be a package problem; but after a few updates and apparently no one else has this problem anymore, I suspect I'm missing something.

                Can anyone clarify if "Block offenders" is working on AMD64?

                If so, any clues about why mine doesn't work?

                    Yes, every single time.
                    Just in case, I did it again. No luck.

                    Pretty sure my messing around caused this, anyone knows which library contains the alert_pf plugin?

                      Try to uninstall again, then go ti console and remove any snort package or dependencie left behind.
                      I think some post on this topic has a detailed info about this.
