snort:ERROR: Can't find pcap DAQ!

There is a vulgar saying that ends with "you, and the camel that rode in on you" that applies here.

Here it's "the horse you rode in on".    You should see what the bookstores charge for Snort how-to books.

Chuckle...  Around here, its likely as not to be "the horse that rode in on you/him/her or it"  ;-)  Same idea as a helper I had at a California TV station about 30 years back, who was fond of saying, when he had checked the stock room for some part we needed, "we don't hardly got some more of those", expanding on the simple "no".  He was fun to have around, and might someday have made a good tech.

Thanks & Cheers, Gene

Kinda like "it don't make me no nevermind". Or the operator who used to work for me in a shop where we ran a DEC PDP-8. He called one of the bootstrap paper tapes a "pair-uh-meter" tape, instead of "puh-ram-i-ter".

Precisely.   I sometimes wonder if these folks ever learned to read, its for sure they haven't a clue what phonics is or means.  That, to me, was the beginning of the end for a decent education here in the states.  I have railed about that to anyone who had the time to listen for about 60 of my 77 years now.  I already understood in 1955 that something was wrong when a 10 year old had to have the comics read to him, they had quit using a teaching method that worked, and now we have 3 generations who can't read the evening fish-wrap.

I have the IQ to get by pretty well as a television engineer, on an 8th grade education, but sadly there are many with a high school education that can't even count change at McDonalds.  And I don't consider its the kids fault, but the system that taught them.  Sad, very sad.
