I recommended you to compare the SuSE and the other init script.

It sources /etc/sysconfig/snort and get variable content from there.

$SNORT_PROMISC is such a variable and the script checks if it is set (to
yes). More variables are checked.

In this file the variable content is set.

Just because the init scripts on Fedora do have to look different then
those on SuSE just because Fedora uses functions from
/etc/init.d/functions. SuSE operates different.

Tell that the packager of snort for Fedora (snort is not part of Fedora
Core 1). Or just implement all what you request by your own. That is one
possibility with an open source OS like Fedora. Feel free to improve
things.
