-i any ?

[Jev <jev () ecad org>]

Hi All,

I have seen mention of using '-i any' arg with snort in order to get it
to listen on all interfaces. I tried it on my multihomed freebsd
4.5-stable box (no less than 4 interfaces) and I get the following
error.

Log directory = /var/log/snort

Initializing Network Interface any
ioctl(SIOC*MTU): Device not configured
Automagic MTU discovery failed. Using default 1500ERROR: OpenPcap()
device any open: 
        BIOCSETIF: any: Device not configured
        Fatal Error, Quitting..


Snort works fine when I specify one particular interface. Is the any
keyword related to the pcap lib? 
Clarification greatly appreciated :)

-Jev
