0001124: Snort is not killed by pfcmd
Seen on CentOS 5.5 x86_64, SNORT is not able to be killed using the "pfcmd service snort stop" command while it's working with the same RPM package on CentOS 5.5 i386. Even after compiling the x86_64 RPM, the problem persists.

This implies some drawbacks, especially when you are in a HA cluster. PacketFence won't be able to stop properly, so the failover will never happen. It's a major problem. The issue is not related to PacketFence, but to snort.

A potential workaround is to modify the code to issue a "pkill -9 snort" instead of the standard "pkill snort".
