Thank for the advice Dan, but it's not it. I have snort running on an
old but reliable 10BaseT hub. It use to be able to work just fine under
the older 1.73 version of snort.

I did have problems getting the thing into promisc mode initially. I
have a Intel E100B adapter in it. Using the e100.o module you can
compile from Intel's source, I could not get it to go promisc. I
switched over to the open source (David Hine's) eepro100 module, and I
could get it to run in promisc as that point.

I do have some snorting. The stream4 preprocessor seems to work and I
can detect port 21 stealth activity, but that is it.

I have all the rules enabled and the box is a Pentium Pro 180 (400
bogomips). I'm running Debian with Kernel 2.4.19-pre1-ac2 with rmap VM
and xfs filesystem. System has run stable - no oops or crashes or any
other weirdness.

So what do you think?

PS. Any snorters here from NYC? I'm going to be in town for 4th of
July. :-)
