    Hi, two suggestions : if snort isn't running as root,
    check that user snort can access it. Use absolute
    paths in snort.conf.

    Subject: [Snort-users] Snort Problem

    I am running snort on my linux box. I have dsl the uses pppoe. My IP
    doesn't change that often but in the config file, I use $ppp0_AADRESS as my
    HOME_NET. It works fine for awhile but then dies. When I restart it it
    says
    " ERROR: Unable to open rules file: exploit.rules". What can I do to stop
    this?

    Thanks
    Evan
