@oliverbk I experienced a similar problem as you did on 2014-10-31. For me "systemctl start snort" resulted in the error you describe. "systemctl start snort@wlan0" resulted in a file not found error. What solved the problem for me was a simple: cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/snort.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/snort@.service Honestly, I am not sure whether a "mv" instead of a "cp" would not be better, as starting the service without specifying a device will always result in this error (at least according to the content of /usr/lib/systemd/system/snort.service).

Had to create the default snort.conf directory: /usr/lib/snort_dynamicrules Snort error: ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(253) Could not stat dynamic module path "/usr/lib/snort_dynamicrules": No such file or directory.

emerging.rules.tar.gz md5sum changed to 52fb27a0b8151cc2b906fd58ce12fb46

cosmicnut commented on 2014-07-20 10:30 (UTC)

this package is a little broken. snort have changed their site layout so you need to change PKGBUILD to the source location source=("http://www.snort.org/downloads/snort/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz" "http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/${pkgname}-2.9.0/emerging.rules.ta$ 'snort.service') The change seems to be at the latest build so you need to up the version to 2.9.6.2 witt the MD5 of 2a0e89a48260e45f932af94c0ebb330e no other versions seem to be on line

hi the snort installation is broken : the emerging rule have been updated upstream and the md5 need to be edited from f25631a4942d7e0bb9937c883f42e87a to b0116a4ddfa92afb759d92c14f13dd20

GI_Jack, I am not sure the exact cause of the problem but I do know you can specify the directory explicitly when you run snort like so: snort -v --daq-dir /usr/lib/daq
