      Indeed I'm running dev and hence upgrading frequently which is when I spotted it.

      This seems pretty conclusive as to why it's failing to start:

      [2.4.3-DEVELOPMENT][admin@3100.stevew.lan]/root: /usr/local/bin/suricata -V
Shared object "libnss3.so" not found, required by "suricata"

      Interesting then that the upgrade before last it did not fail, presumably the correct library was included that time.

      It does appear to be there though so some path missing?

      [2.4.3-DEVELOPMENT][admin@3100.stevew.lan]/root: find / -name 'libnss3*'
/usr/local/lib/nss/libnss3.so

        It might be a required symlink is missing.

        I hate shared libraries!  They cause this kind of stuff.  Same as the old "DLL hell" experienced on Windows.

        We will probably need to run this one by Renato on the pfSense team to see if he can determine what's going on.  I have not been following the latest DEV build.  It's a different FreeBSD tree isn't it?  If so, the FreeBSD-ports part of the pfSense fork may need an update to match upstream.

          What is the output of the following commands?

          pkg upgrade -n

          ldd /usr/local/bin/suricata

              cat /usr/local/libdata/ldconfig/nss

                  ld database is out of date for some reason. Try to run /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start and then ldd /usr/local/bin/suricata again to see if it fixes the issue

                      Suricata now starts normally.  :)

                      Good. I don't know exactly what caused it but I'm glad we figured it out

                        I'm still seeing this and now on both x86 and ARM.
                        Opened a bug to track it: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8716

                          This one will need to be looked at by Renato at Netgate. I'm thinking it's related to a change in the FreeBSD patch files for Suricata. I noticed the binary package maintainer for FreeBSD removed a patch file with "nss3" in its name from the latest 4.0.5 source code on FreeBSD ports, so I am surmising that may be where the libnss3.so library error is coming from.

                            Ah, thanks for that. We'll look into it here then.
