Thats because no such files exist on in the lenny distribution. It does exist in the source package as snort-2.7.0/debian/snort.default though, so I just guess it's something going awry on the package building. The /etc/init.d/snort is looking for either of these to read its startup parameters. Since they dont exists, it uses default which means to stay in foreground. Im guessing the maintainer didn't hit across this because the files already existed on his system. -Ivan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
