Hi Florin,
my snort doesn't start an i have the following error in my syslog:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jan 11 21:58:56 router kernel: device ppp0 entered promiscuous mode
Jan 11 21:58:56 router snort: Initializing daemon mode
Jan 11 21:58:56 router snort: PID path stat checked out ok, PID path set
to /var/run/snort
Jan 11 21:58:56 router snort: Writing PID "32740" to file
"/var/run/snort/snort_ppp0.pid"
Jan 11 21:58:56 router snort: FATAL ERROR:  unknown preprocessor
"8�^[^H_decode"
Jan 11 21:58:56 router kernel: device ppp0 left promiscuous mode
Jan 11 21:58:56 router snortd: snort Start succeeded
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The last Message tells about a good start but there is no snort process
and and the status of the service is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# service snortd status
Der Dienst �snort� ist tod, aber die Systemkomponente blockiert
--------------------------------------------------------------------

in english something like 
The service is death but the systemcomponents are locked.

I think there is something wrong in the config for the preprocessors.
It looks like entries for the old snort not for the snort >= 2.x
The installed package are snort-2.1.0-2mdk.i586.rpm from today at your
side.

Regards,

Dieter
