Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Invalid packet length: msg#00003

security.ids.snort.barnyard.user

Subject: Invalid packet length

I'm running BY on OpenBSD 3.7 (ultra 5 / sparc64) along with one
instance of snort. When I start BY it fails with "ERROR: Invalid packet
length: nnnnn". I've deleted the unified log several times and still
get the same message. The NIC is a Intel PRO/1000MT (82545EM) that
seems to work flawlessly. I'm not seeing any errors in dmesg or
/var/log/messages. Startup, dry run and by.conf are below. Thoughts?

Thanks,


-Dusty
