Does this sound better?
* The snort package, Since version 2.3.0, introduces /etc/default/snort
and no longer uses /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters.
The new configuration file will be automatically created based
on the old configuration.
However, since there is no way to know if the old file has been parsed
properly, the old parameters file will still be used in the
/etc/init.d/script file until it has been removed.
* Please check the contents of /etc/default/snort (or create a new one)
and remove /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters to take advantage of the
improvements introduced in the init.d script (such as sanity checks
for common misconfigurations). You will still be able to run
Snort with the old configuration file, however.
Thanks for your input
