Re: snort not running as service

[Sadanand Ghagare <sadanandgh () gmail com>]

When I placed \ in third line which I forgot to enter, it started successfully.

preprocessor sfportscan: proto  { all } \
                         memcap { 10000000 } \
                         sense_level { low } \
                  logfile { portscan.log }
