After rereading the email I saw the issue: you should not edit manually /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf, you should do this: 'dpkg-reconfigure snort-mysql' and answer 'eth1' there. The reason why your changes are not preserved is because the value there is modified when the package is configured. Please confirm if this is indeed the issue by doing this: - dpkg-reconfigure snort-mysql (answer eth1 when asked for the interface) - dpkg --pending --configure (so that the post-install script is run again and the package is marked as installed) And then confirm if snort is up, if not, try to manually start it again (/etc/init.d/snort start).
