Hi,
just emerged snort, and /etc/conf.d/snort is somewhat broken
(yes it's the latest ebuild;)

Code:

# This pulls in the options above
SNORT_OPTS="-D -s -u nobody -dev -l $LOGDIR -h $NETWORK -c $CONF"

as you can see, it runs as nobody user, but there was a snort user created to run snort as !!
so i had to change to

Code:

# This pulls in the options above
SNORT_OPTS="-D -s -u snort -dev -l $LOGDIR -h $NETWORK -c $CONF"

also, $LOGDIR and $NETWORK are also setup in /etc/snort/snort.conf ($CONF) (but thoses conf.d option override them.. this is not very intuitive though

correct it
