Looks like you are using an old snort.conf with a new version of Snort.
When upgrading to a new version, you always want to check the news/release
notes to see if there is new functionality in the engine.

Looks like you are trying to run 2.6.1.3 with a 2.4 snort.conf file.  Time
to transition your settings from your old snort.conf to the new one, and use
the new preprocessors.

I'm using: Version 2.6.1.3 (Build 36)

When I do: snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

I get:
/etc/snort/snort.conf(504) unknown dynamic preprocessor "xlink2state"
ERROR: Misconfigured dynamic preprocessor(s)
Fatal Error, Quitting..
 
When I comment out
preprocessor xlink2state: ports { 25 691 }

snort works fine.

Could someone tell me what I might be doing wrong here? I think that I
probably should be running this preprocessor.
