There is extensive documentation on the sfportscan preprocessor in the 
docs/ directory that came with your Snort software. 
 
Look for README.sfportscan

Joel,

I read it before ...

Is there any form to test if sfportscan is working?

It seems like not working for my snort.

Thanks,

Josep Pujadas

Portscan your snort sensor and check out the results.  I use a quick nmap scan 
to test this:

# nmap -v -v -sS -P0 -p1-65535 {snort IP}

Also make sure you specify the logfile to use to log the portscans, and make 
sure Snort is able to read/write to the logfile.
