Snort problems

[eazydor]

snort won't start on wan (pppoe)..

is it even possible to snort pppoe?

rule update problems too, maybe because of changes in the way snort.org releases rule updates since june '10..

still you could download the rules for snort 2.8.6 manually..

20100711-i86-livecd-snapshot, snort version 2.8.6 pkg v. 1.27.
