Re: ERROR: Failed to find InitializeDetection()

[Alberto Colosi/SI/RM/GSI/it <alberto.colosi () sistinf it>]

I'm not so sure! maybe I'm wrong but:

----------------------------------------------------------
> /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule/libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so: undefined
> symbol:
> InitializeDetection
> Fatal Error, Quitting..
----------------------------------------------------------

should say that the file is in place but load badly "undefined symbol".

Have you used RPM package? I ever compile my packages :D
(best at least for me)

Ricardo,

Run: find / -name libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so and figure out where that
file is located.

Your snort.conf is looking for that file here:
/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule/libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so and the
output is telling you it is having trouble finding it.

Once you figure out where that file is located, you can either change
the line in snort.conf, or you can relocate the files to where
snort.conf thinks they should be.

Regards,

Seth
