RE: Snort as Service on Win2K

["Michael Steele" <michaels () silicondefense com>]

Dhruv,

Ok, here is what were going to do:

1) Setup snort as you normally would for a service.
2) Go into the Services and select Snort and stop the service if running
3) Right click on the Snort entry and select properties
4) Select the Log On Tab and check "allow this service to interact with
desktop"
5) Select the Snort service and start the service

What this will do is start snort in a command window using the services
start procedure, and whatever is happening will be displayed in the
command window. Let me know what is going on. Cut and past the text to
an Email to me.  You should also be getting something in your Event Log
under the application tab. Be sure to go and uncheck #4 after it's
fixed.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort as Service on Win2K

Hi

I just can't start Snort as service on Win2K server with service pack 3
and 
all the latest patches.

I am running Snort 1.8.7. It works like a charm when I run in through 
command mode but bombs with an error when I try to run it as a service.

Any suggestions or pointers ???

Thanks and cheers

Dhruv
