First check the syslogs for any errors.  Some will get logged, some
will just quietly kill Snort.  If that doesn't help, start Snort
directly in IDS mode and without detaching into the background.  You
will have to RTFM for the options, I have to leave for a meeting now,
and the last time I did this is not in root's .history any more.
