Public bug reported: Probably it's a dup of bug #192868 however the files and the release are not the same.
The issue is that the init script in karmic of argus-server sets as the daemon file the file "/usr/sbin/argus" which doesn't exists after argus- server installation. r...@snortids:/usr/share/doc/argus-server# grep -C3 ^DAEMON= /etc/init.d/argus-server DEFAULTS=/etc/default/argus-server LOGFILE=/var/log/argus/argus.log CONFFILE=/etc/argus.conf DAEMON=/usr/sbin/argus NAME=argus PIDFILE=/var/run/argus.pid The init.d script arises an exit 1 error.

Just creating a symlink of that script to the "missing" /usr/bin/argus file (or editing the init.d script to point to the right file) solves the problem: r...@snortids:/usr/share/doc/argus-server# ln -s /usr/sbin/argus_linux /usr/sbin/argus r...@snortids:/usr/share/doc/argus-server# bash -x /etc/init.d/argus-server start + set -e + DEFAULTS=/etc/default/argus-server + LOGFILE=/var/log/argus/argus.log + CONFFILE=/etc/argus.conf + DAEMON=/usr/sbin/argus + NAME=argus + PIDFILE=/var/run/argus.pid + test -f /etc/default/argus-server + . /etc/default/argus-server ++ STARTUP=boot + '[' boot = dialup ']' + '[' boot = none ']' + '[' '!' -f /etc/argus.conf ']' + test -x /usr/sbin/argus + case "$1" in + echo -n 'Starting network auditing daemon: ' Starting network auditing daemon: + testrunning + '[' -f /var/run/argus.pid ']' + /usr/sbin/argus -w /var/log/argus/argus.log -n /var/run/argus.pid argus[28766]: started+ echo 'argus.
