snort rules not being read

["Donnie Green" <d_greenjr () hotmail com>]

I'm running RH7.3, snort-1.8.7, logging to /var/log/snort.

I have two problems: (1)When I boot Linux, snort does not start up and (2) I
cannot get snort to read in the rules even if I use the command "snort -i
eth0 -c /etc/snort" after booting.  Below is a portion of the output of
preceeding command.  Does anyone have a configuration that works??


hostname#  snort -i eth0 -c /etc/snort
Log directory = /var/log/snort
