'allo list,
I've had an odd problem installing 2.4.4 from source. conf/make/make
install goes smoothly, but only the binary itself - and the man page -
actually 'go anywhere.'
I'm not sure if this is deliberate, but i've poked around the docs,
checked the faq, and burned black candles at midnight - no success.
Nothing goes to my /etc; no conf, nothing in init.d, nada. Not the
snort.conf itself nor any of the secondary conf files, nor is a rules
dir created, nor /var/log/snort, etc.
The docs seem to assume these things'll be in place when you run, but
there's no explicit manifesto of needed files. I went and manually
moved stuff around, created the dirs and files needed, etc., but i was
sort of wondering about the whole thing.
Ubuntu seems to want to apt me 2.3.2, and it looks like there's a slew
of bugfixes and whatnot in the 2.4 branch, so i'd rather go with latest
stable source. Is there a reason the various config files, and assorted
log/conf/rules directories, aren't created at install? There doesn't
seem to be any reference to them in the makefile, tho my understanding
there is limited.
Praying fervently not to have caused a drink or three,
