Bug in Snort?

[atlasis]

Hi,

I was testing pfsense 2 RC3 and I installed snort and the corresponding rules. After trying to configure the rules that I wanted to use, when I was pressing the 'x' button (to disable the corresponding rule), ALL the rules of the corresponding category vanished.

I updated to the latest snapshot, and the problem remained.

The same happened when I was trying to enable a rule using the same button.

Finally, after a quick testing (i.e. I enabled the portscan preprocessor and I did a port scan), it seems to me that snort doesn't produced any alerts.

I had also tried pfsense 2 RC1 (which was using a previous version of snort) and there weren't such problems.

Regards

Try updating the package again, it should be fixed.

I made a clean install. This time, when I go to download the rules, I get the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /usr/local/www/snort/snort_download_rules.php on line 481
