      Updated SNORT to 3.2.9.2_16 from 3.2.9.2_15 today and now the service will not start.  Get the following error in one of the System logs:

      FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_18589_em0/snort.conf(169) => Unable to open the IIS Unicode Map file '/usr/local/etc/snort/unicode.map'.

          update, working now.

          I uninstalled one more time.  Then manually deleted some of the snort scripts, files and directories.  On the subsequent reload, the package installed with no errors in the package and started correctly.

          However, these 3 rules failed to download.  I wait for results when regular downloads run as scheduled.
