Re: Snort 2.8.4 Beta - inline still not working on 64 bit have to use svn

snort-inline uses a newer version of libnet 1.1.x for the
reset/unreachable code...  I haven't had time to look into the NFQUEUE
issue with snort-inline on your recent kernel...  I can't speak to why
the SF guy's are still using the old version of libnet.

hi.

Inline mode seems not possible on a 64bit system due to libnet

If I manage to compile it using the non svn snort it segfaults when trying
-Q to activate inline.  (using now kernel 2.6.27) however the snort-inline
svn works fine with same kernel...

I've tried to compile on mutiple systems - all 32bit ones work - ubuntu,
fedora, all 64bit versions segfault.

I'm pretty sure its related to the very very old version of libnet that
snort (non snv) relies on for inline mode - is this lightly to be the case
?

If so when is snort going to the more recent version of libnet ? The one it
uses just doesn't work in a 64bit system and is about 4 years old .

cheers
