0001826: Snort suddenly not starting but after a variable spelling change, it works.
Snort suddenly not working after a packetfence service restart. On /var/log/messages, it shows that it has a problem on a variable $DNS_SERVERS and When I run the cat /var/log/messages and got FATAL Error on snort as shown below:
 
   Sep 25 13:00:05 spfcn01 snort[26763]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/pf/conf/snort/emerging-trojan.rules(143) Undefined variable in the string: $DNS_SERVERS.
 
and the I run cat /usr/local/pf/conf/snort.conf and edit the:
 
    var DNS_SERVERS [%%dnsservers%%]
 
and changed to:
 
   var DNS_SERVERS [%%dns_servers%%]
 
and then restarted again the packetfence and the result, snort service is now running.
I think a constant restart of PAcketfence service.
No tags attached.
