      hi

      i installed pfsense 2.0.1-RELEASE (i386) nanobsd vga and then from the package list snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.5.1

      i set up all as well , oinkcode , updates, rules etc….

      it shows under the webmenu "Services >> Snort" as running but with px aus there is no snort process and also in the webmenu under
      "Status >> Services >> snort is shown as stopped ...

      if i try to start snort byy hand under /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snort.sh start

      it says:

      pgrep: Pidfile `/var/run/snort_pppoe139459.pid' is empty
      

      i also tried a clean re install of snort is written in the forum but id does not helped

      bootlog http://pastebin.com/2ftG7td5
      thanks

        Hello Mr. Developer

        please add a verbose or debug output of rules which are not compatible or not working with snort , as an clear error log
        because pfsense 2.0.1 i386 nanobsd vga + snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.5.1 and if activated from the categories/rules "snort_attack-responses.rules" snort wont start and quit with a not showing in that direction, error message.

        you got the error message as in the thread above

        pgrep: Pidfile `/var/run/snort_pppoe139459.pid' is empty
        

        i have activated all categories/Rules without,(not activated), the "snort_attack-responses.rules" rules and now snort works so far …

        and btw "Enable Sensitive Data" under preprocessor is hard tobac :) :)

        thanks
