I am running all these rulesets and they all work for me.  

What do you mean crash?  What is the error you are getting in 

your /var/log/messages file?

Joel,

When it works I have:

Mar 27 20:28:45 my_machine kernel: bge0: promiscuous mode enabled

Mar 27 20:28:45 my_machine snort[1660]: PID path stat checked out ok, PID 

path set to /var/run/

Mar 27 20:28:45 my_machine snort[1660]: Writing PID "1660" to 

file "/var/run//snort_bge0.pid"

Mar 27 20:28:45 my_machine snort[1659]: Daemon parent exiting

Mar 27 20:28:45 my_machine snort[1660]: Daemon initialized, signaled parent 

pid: 1659

Mar 27 20:29:03 my_machine snort[1660]: Snort initialization completed 

successfully (pid=1660)

Mar 27 20:29:03 my_machine snort[1660]: Using PCAP_FRAMES = max

When it crashes I have:

Mar 28 18:57:02 my_machine kernel: bge0: promiscuous mode enabled

Mar 28 18:57:02 my_machine snort[6099]: PID path stat checked out ok, PID 

path set to /var/run/

Mar 28 18:57:02 my_machine snort[6099]: Writing PID "6099" to 

file "/var/run//snort_bge0.pid"

Mar 28 18:57:02 my_machine snort[6098]: Daemon parent exiting

Mar 28 18:57:02 my_machine snort[6099]: Daemon initialized, signaled parent 

pid: 6098

Mar 28 18:57:34 my_machine kernel: bge0: promiscuous mode disabled

And If I look for snort I have:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snort status

snort is not running.

Thanks,

Josep Pujadas
