Nope. Still getting the same error message. ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(184) => unknown rule type: dynamicpreprocessor It errors out like it can't find the dynamic preprocessor files or something. This is really strange. AG --- Justin Heath <justin.heath@gmail.com> wrote:
./configure --prefix=wherever --enable-dynamicplugin && make && make install cp -r etc wherever edit snort.conf to point to the correct location of the dynamicpreprocessors lib directory and change the path for dynamicengine to point to the dynamicengine file itself. If you are using FreeBSD, OpenBSD or OS X look at the INSTALL guide in the doc directory of the source tarball for specific instructions for those platforms. You can also just use the command line switches --dynamic preprocessor-lib, --dynamic preprocessor-lib-dir and --dynamic-engine-lib.

When I comment out the dynamicpreprocessor linesandthe associated preprocessors further down in the.conffile, Snort starts just fine. I can't seem to getitto work with the dynamic preprocessors.
