      Hi,

      I am running 1.2.3-RELEASE Embedded, I had Snort working fine but then I had to re flash the CF card and now it will not update.

      I have Snort working with a manually updated set of rules but when I try the auto update this is what I get:

      _Deletes temp files

      Downloads the MD5 files

      You are NOT up to date…

      Stopping Snort Services...

      There is a new set of Snort.org rules posted. Downloading...

      Then after about 10 seconds:

      Error with the snort rules download...

      Snort rules file downloaded failed..._

      I have tried, reinstalling snort, resetting all snort settings, trying another day (I have been trying for about a week)

      I cant see what else to try, if I look in the snort temp directory I see all the MD5 files and the main snort rule file but its size is 0k

      Any ideas?

            I think there's a SNORT re-write under way.  Stay tuned.

                The snort servers may have your ip blocked if you have updated to many times .
