PfSense 2.0-RC1 Snort and other servicesa error.
-
Hello dear,
I m have using 2.0-RC1 (amd64) built on Fri Mar 4 11:03:45 EST 2011My Snort Package installed but services are not start!
I will try to start shell and take it this error:
[2.0-RC1][root@pfsense.hbglobal.local]/root(3): snort Running in IDS mode --== Initializing Snort ==-- Initializing Output Plugins! Initializing Preprocessors! Initializing Plug-ins!

Fatal Error, Quitting..
So i try to change /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
I will check thats folder is in "/usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicpreprocessor/
and others same change to config file.
Later i take rule file error.[[b]2.0-RC1][root@pfsense.hbglobal.local]/root(5): snort

I will change in conf file
var RULE_PATH rules
and check the rules file /usr/local/etc/snort/rules/
all files have snort_local.rules
snort_chat.rules
snort_*.rules etc.I m add to conf file all rules start snort_*.rules
Later try again to start Snort:[b] Reassembly Ports: 21 client (Footprint) 22 client (Footprint) 23 client (Footprint) 25 client (Footprint) 42 client (Footprint) 53 client (Footprint) 79 client (Footprint) 80 client (Footprint) server (Footprint) 109 client (Footprint) 110 client (Footprint) 111 client (Footprint) 113 client (Footprint) 119 client (Footprint) 135 client (Footprint) 136 client (Footprint) 137 client (Footprint) 139 client (Footprint) 143 client (Footprint) 161 client (Footprint) 311 client (Footprint) server (Footprint) Stream5 UDP Policy config: Timeout: 180 seconds ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf(194) => Invalid keyword 'compress_depth' for 'global' configuration. Fatal Error, Quitting..[/b]
I will check thats error on Snort forums, I Found this one SOLVE but not work for pfSense;
in the source dir i did:
make clean
make uninstallafter a ran again ./configure —enable-zlib —with-mysql
make
make check
make installnow work for me!
How to resolve thats package problem?
So, NTOP 4.0 have same problem, i will try gui install, i will try shell install pkg_add -r ntop etc.
Service NOT start any time. -
Issue is /usr/local/etc/snort.conf
File gets auto created when rules are updated. Not sure why the file is configured all wrong.
Till recently you used to be able to just copy the snort.conf file from snort_*_ folder in the same directory and overwrite the other one. That fix no longer works.
Not sure where to head now… Hope this helps a little.
Anyway, it looks like the package is going through a major overhaul. Perhaps the best thing to do is just wait till the new version is released.

Hi,
EDIT: please see my post here > http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,37452.0.html. NOt sure if it is even the same issue; however, its worth a shot.I confirm this issue with:
snort > 2.8.6.1 pkg v. 1.35
pfsense 2.0 build > 2.0-RC2 (i386) built on Wed Jun 1 12:43:15 EDT 2011I am unable to see which rules are running. Snort.org : N/A even though I get an alert that my rules are up to date.
Oddly, it was working on Jun 3.
