*./snort* and *snort* are NOT the same when you are in that directory! ;)

now do yourself a huge favor and rename /etc/init.d/snort to something else so 
that you will no longer be confused if you are running snort directly or running 
the script to manage snort... if you are going to use the script, use the script 
all the time...

perhaps something like
   mv /etc/init.d/snort /etc/init.d/snortd

then use /etc/init.d/snortd everywhere and stop using snort plain without the d...

OR rename your snort binary and alter your /etc/init.d/snort script to use the 
binary's new name...
