I have setup snort on my LAN following Andy Firman's setup guide (Thanks
Andy).  It is currently listening to a hub that is connected to a span
port on my Cisco 4006.  I have also run it without the hub directly into
the span port.  (The hub is only there to allow for other network
traffic monitoring such as Observer - apparently the 4006 will only
allow 1 span port.)  Internal and External networks are both set to any,
as I want to analyze all traffic and I didn't see any references for
settings for that.  Only thing missing at this point is Oinkmaster,
which I haven't set up because I haven't got the thing to run for more
than a day or so without giving a segfault.

When snort segfaults, it gives no error messages that I can find.  I
have run in the foreground to see if there were any consistent issues ie
rules etc at the time of the segfault, but I haven't found anything
yet.  I have seen a couple of other people that have had the same
problem apparently and 1 suggested changing rulesets, which I did. 
Still having segfaults.

I'm not sure what to do from here with no error messages, etc.  Is this
an issue that has been definitively resolved?  I haven't been able to
find a solution anywhere, only other people with the same questions. 
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Andy
