Startup Problem

[eric-dated-1083277626.193075aa63e273 () catastrophe net]

I'm having a startup problem here with snort..the error message I
get is the following...

 Apr  3 12:12:16 pluto snort: FATAL ERROR:
 /var/snort/etc/snort.conf(34) => Invalid configuration token
 'server'.  The first configuration must start with a 'global'
 configuration type.

This is when I try to start snort with the following syntax.

 # /var/snort/bin/snort -c /var/snort/etc/snort.conf \
   -i em1 -Cbd -t /var/snort -l /var/snort/log/em1

My configuration looks like this -- any assistance is appreciated.

var HOME_NET 10.1.1.0/24
var EXTERNAL_NET any !$HOME_NET
var SMTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET
var HTTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET
