Re: [Snort-users] Fwd: new snort install, error when starting snort service

I think there was a problem syntax error in the vrt rules that I had 
originally loaded..and then I did not remove those rules when I applied 
the community rules, thus still showing the vrt rule error. 

I have now removed all of the previous rules and loaded just the vrt 
rules..looks better, however still throwing a fatal error...at first 
glance at the error this appears to be my config error in snort.conf.


Thanks for the help,
Mike
