I applied your patch:

# cat snort.patch | patch -p1
missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- snort.orig Fri Jul 19 15:05:33 2002
|+++ snort      Fri Jul 19 15:06:39 2002
--------------------------
File to patch: ./snort
patching file ./snort

# ./snort start
./snort: var: command not found


Did I do something wrong applying the patch?  

Thanks for your help!
