All,

Not sure it this Snort issue belongs here in "Networking" or in "Security"!

Anyway installed Snort! I'm always on wifi, so only "wlan0" active. Snort keeps erroring as it is always only looking for wired network or eth0.

How do I config Snort to recognize the active connection, instead of defaulting only to eth0?

Everytime I run any install these Snort errors keep popping up!

All help appreciated!

Cheers!

What distro/version are you using? Your user agent icon says Ubuntu, but many Ubuntu derivatives report as Ubuntu and you may be using snort on a different machine.

What is the exact wording of the error messages and of the command,

You may have to issue that command as root.

Please surround any terminal output with "code" tags, which become available when you click the "Go Advanced" button beneath the compose post window.

Wow did not know it what changing all the interface definitions! Have just upgraded from 14.04 and not really happy with 16.04, because it's no longer developer friendly and the processing priorities are totally screwed.

All,

Following up on all my open threads, looking to close/solve them all.

Cheers!

My opinion: these “follow up posts” do not comply with LQ rules as they don’t add to the technical discussion(s)
If you want to mark your threads solved, use the thread tools. All you’re doing is cluttering the fora.
(Maybe you just trying to add to your post count?)

Might be part of the reason, but I suspect something simpler: they're hoping to get other people to do their work for them. Don't care that they're spamming LQ and are making it a slightly less useful place.
Reading through their threads that assessment is well deserved: there's a general attitude of "Gimme or GTFO". And as soon as they get it (or it's obvious that they won't), they're gone.
Reported, again. There's two dozen identical posts by now, and much more similarly pointless bumping.
