Package: snort
Version: 2.0.2-2
Severity: minor

I use pppoe.  After I bring ppp0 up and /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/snort starts
snort, I get an email from logcheck reporting

  Nov 30 20:43:56 localhost snort: OpenPcap() device eth0 network lookup:  
^Ieth0: no IPv4 address assigned

as a System Event.

Ideally, since snort is given the interface (ppp0) on the command line,
it shouldn't complain about eth0 like this, since this is a valid
situation.  Unfortunately it looks like snort would have to work around
a libpcap interface handicap with strstr("no IPv4 address assigned"),
but it looks like it could be done.

Short of that, a logcheck rule should be included.  (That is,
/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/snort with

  snort: OpenPcap\(\) device .* network lookup:.*:no IPv4 address assigned

And possibly for ignore.d.paranoid and ignore.d.server, too.)
