We did correct the script already, but apparently, we did not put the new script online. I will do this as soon as I finished typing this mail :) The script that will be available within a few minutes (same location: http://www.xssass.be/updateSnort) works fine for snort 2.0.0. We use it with that version and it updates perfectly without any troubles. We just can't assure you that it will work with snort 1.9.x, but because of security reasons, we would advise everybody to switch to snort 2.0.0 anyway. > you can download the script from here: http://www.xssass.be/updateSnort > who can tell me anything about the script and it's quality My friend and I wrote the script... It's a perlscript, and it works fine... It downloads the new rules from the snort website, as well as the md5 checksum... If the checksum matches, it will download and install the new rules. Then alter the snort.conf file to include the new rules, and restart snort. Kind regards, Kristof -- Digital fingerprint: F56F F987 0E0C AFF8 0B6D 7CA1 F152 E07D 72AF 337B
