Ok, so doing this broke snort but starting snort from
command line I was able to see that it had issues with
some of the rules. I had to edit /etc/snort/snort.conf
and comment out the following rulesets to get it to
work:

include $RULE_PATH/ftp.rules
include $RULE_PATH/web-client.rules
include $RULE_PATH/netbios.rules

Afterwards I was able to get snort to start
successfully from the console and from the web
interface. 

I haven't looked into the rulesets yet to see which
particular rule was causing snort to croak. 

You can run snort from the command line with the
following: snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf and it will
tell you where the problem might be. 


Offtopic: Anybody have an idea why my name is showing
up as h-h2? I've double checked my e-mail options to
make sure my name is set correcly.
