An easy way to find the faulty line in vi is..:
vi +508 /etc/snort/snort.conf
See if that helps any.

I am running Debian unstable and added the snort-mysql package. This

I added a database called snort to mysql and then configured snort
to point to
this database and configured the database structure via the
supplied file.
I verified (via MySQL Manager) that the structure exists where it
was not
there before.
However, everytime I attmept to start snort I get the following error:
FATAL ERROR: Undefined variable name: (/etc/snort/snort.conf:508):
I checked
the internet and can find not exact matches to this problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I am not a programmer but I looked at the
snort.conf
and assuming the 508 is a line number I can not determine where the
problem
is (short of counting out 508 lines individually on the screen).
