Sounds like your config file is not defining eth1_ADDRESS before using
it (maybe because that interface doesn't have an ip address and so SUSE
doesn't define it - I'm guessing SUSE is mucking with the config file
based on what you put in /etc/sysconfig/snort). Can you please post
your config file (/etc/snort/snort.conf), /etc/sysconfig/snort and the
SUSE init script?
Thanks
