Autosnort-Ubuntu/AVATAR project comes with problem config file #47

Open nswalters opened 7 years ago

nswalters commented 7 years ago

Lines 325 and 326:

decompress_swf { deflate lzma } \
decompress_pdf { deflate }

These lines introduce an error: "ERROR: /opt/snort/etc/snort.conf(326) => Invalid keyword '}' for server configuration."

By commenting out those lines and adjusting line 324 (removing the trailing '\' from the line), snort is able to run successfully.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I'll do some testing to see if they fixed it on snort.org. Currently this is the only way I pull the snort.conf file because the snort.conf file from the snort.org website is supposed to be the example template for whatever the current version is. More or less its /supposed/ to be good practice to use that copy as your baseline.
