Re: [suse-security] Installing and Updating Snort

Eric: Generally, getting newer versions (rpms or otherwise) for any SuSE program is not a problem. You should be more concerned with getting new rulesets and patches. You can always download the latest stable version from http://www.snort.org/dl/. If you decide to compile from source, generally you can count on the software including a file called INSTALL. This file contains everything you need to know about building the software. Your books should also include installation instructions. You should go ahead and build it a couple of times until you're satisfied with the results. --Tom
