      hi, snort has stopped working, here is the error log

      snort[30987]: FATAL ERROR: Unable to open rules file "/usr/local/etc/snort/snort_37741_bge0//usr/local/etc/snort/snort_37741_bge0/reference.config": No such file or directory.

      looks like there is some error with the directory… some kind of recursion in the string???????

          Same for me after update snort package .

          Solved by "Reset" Button on Services: Snort: Global Settings  page.
          P.S. Do not forget to save yours Oinkmaster code
