Looks like you are trying to use 2962 rules with 2970 or

Generating Stub Rules....
An error occurred: WARNING: No dynamic libraries found in
directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules.

Indeed after clearing out snort_dynamicrules after:

An error occurred: ERROR: The dynamic detection library
"/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules/web-activex.so" version 1.0
compiled
with dynamic engine library version 2.1 isn't compatible with

current dynamic engine library

2.4.

I'm using VRT ruleset...has something changes since 2.9.6.2?
Thank
you.

James


Maybe I need to blow out the rules....my pp run shows:

Checking latest MD5 for snortrules-snapshot-2970.tar.gz....
Rules tarball download of snortrules-snapshot-2970.tar.gz....

So not sure at this point...I'll try nuking the rules..thanks for
looking Joel.

James

Try manually deleting the old .so rules and then copy the new
ones.
Thats what I did on the dev box and it was a smooth upgrade.

YM

Thanks YM..can you refresh my memory on how to create the so rules
manually? Been using PP too long I guess :) Thanks again.

James

They should be included in the rules tarball itself:

cp so_rules/precompiled/<distro>/<archi>/2.9.7.0/*
/snort/path/lib/snort_dynamicrules/

or if your want to just generate the stub files:

/usr/local/bin/snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort.conf
--dump-dynamic-rules=/tmp

YM

Thanks YM...I had to copy them since it didn't look like generating 
them actually created so, just precomp:

I think I'm missing a step, but I'm gonna roll with it...I don't think 
my pp is correctly creating the the so rules. :(
