Snort 3.2.9.1 not updating VRT ruleset
-
I'm a paid snort subscriber and pfsense snort 3.2.9.1 on pfsense 2.2.6 won't update the VRT ruleset, it just keeps saying it's up to date.
Log excerpt:
Starting rules update… Time: 2016-02-02 08:12:12

The Rules update has finished. Time: 2016-02-02 08:12:14Yet, 2.9.8.0 is out.
I re-generated my oink code. and 100% checked that I'm a paid subscriber.
pfsense snort package fault or perhaps a fault with the snort end?
Any ideas?

I think you are confusing the rules with the snort code itself. Go to your "updates" tab and see when your "rules" last updated.
Yes, Snort 2.9.8.0 is out but it will not update automatically. Snort will be updated by package when Bill is finished. Bear in mind most of the Devs are currently feverishly working on package updates for pfSense 2.3 so you may not see the 2.9.8.0 snort program update for a bit… but its coming

I am holding the update to the 2.9.8.0 version of the Snort binary while we are busy converting to Bootstrap for pfSense 2.3. The Bootstrap conversion is close to being finished. I wanted to freeze the binary version while the GUI changes for Bootstrap were being worked on. As soon as the current Snort version is working in Bootstrap, then I will update the underlying binary to 2.9.8.0 or whatever is current at the time.
