Package: snort Version: 2.9.5.3-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
stopping (or restarting) snort result in a message: snort[2674]: Could not remove pid file /var/run//snort_eth0.pid: Permission denied Because snort has "snort"-user permissions the file has the wrong permissions: # ll /var/run/snort_eth0.pid -rw-r----- 1 root root 5 Jul 6 09:05 /var/run/snort_eth0.pid I think the problem is, that the init script creates the pid file (with root permissions) and later on the snort process (with snort permissions) tries to delete the file. After snort exits the file is deleted by the init. Maybe the init-script can change the permissions? BTW: I'm using systemd Thanks for packaging snort!
