Look close and you'll see that it first downloads the 2.3 tarball and then the 2.2 tarball. You have for some reason specified two URLs in oinkmaster.conf (or multiple -u <url> arguments), where the second one points to a non-existent file. Remove the snortrules-snapshot-2_2.tar.gz URL and it should work.


I'd also strongly recommend that you make sure you run the latest version of Snort and use the 2.4 rules instead, although that has nothing do to with this issue.

I have tried using oinkmaster (v1.2) to get latest Snort rules but I'm
encountering the error at the end of the post when run from Cron or command
line.  It finds the file and downloads it (or appears to) but then it begins
downloading a file again?

Is this a configuration issue within oinkmaster itself?  I'm presuming that
the latter part is telling me that it is finding the web page but when
sending the request for the file its coming back as not found.

Any ideas?
