Re: Snort dying

[Jason Wallace <jason.r.wallace () gmail com>]

I've seen this happen in 2 different cases...

1) If you have a system with less than 2GB RAM try setting "config
detection: search-method lowmem" in your snort.conf. If that solves
the problem you can play around with the different detection options
to see which one works for you.

2) Precompiled So rules: If you are using precompiled SO rules try
picking a different distro or turning them off completely just to see
if that is the problem. I have seen a couple of times where snort
would start fine, but then bomb out a couple of hours later. I started
using SO rules for a different distro and the problem went away.
