Re: freebsd/snort 2.9.0.3 daq: how do I verify it is using the ram?

[Russ Combs <rcombs () sourcefire com>]

The patch should also bump the version number.

With that there is no need to --disable-static-daq.  If you give Snort the
path to the newer dynamic flavor that is the version that will be used.
You can verify that by comparing the output of these commands:

./snort --daq pcap --daq-list
./snort --daq pcap --daq-list --daq-dir <path to patched dynamic lib>
