Hello, The “./“ isnt a snort issue/error. You get that error because the manual assumes the snort binary is within your path. You would get the same type of error trying to run any executable file not within your current directory at the time.

This probably is merely an oversight, but I thought you should be made aware of it to avoid a number of complaints. If this is not where I should enter any further problem I might find, please let me know. Thank you and in the words of Red Skelton, "Good night & God bless." :{ ) _______________________________________________ Snort-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.snort.org/mailman/listinfo/snort-devel Please visit http://blog.snort.org for the latest news about Snort!
