my boot hangs after snort is initialized. The last line shown after the snort initialization message is Enabling swap space OK and then a continually blinking cursor below it. Nothing is reported in either /var/log/boot.log or /var/log/messages. Cheers.



So turn off automatic starting of snort for the time being and try to debug the initscript by starting it manually.

Hi All,

Paul, I did exactly that, and then tried running ./rc.local from the terminal, but got a permission denied. When you say "initscript", do you mean the snort.conf file or the /etc/rc.d/rc.local which contains the following,

[root@localhost rc.d]# cat rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -g snort

I got the following when starting manually,

[root@localhost ~]# snort -cs -i eth0
Running in IDS mode
