Could you please send me the output of executing the following (as root): sh -x /etc/init.d/snort start Also please tell me whether you have a file named /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters or a file /etc/default/snort in your system (or both) and provide the contents of those files. It certainly looks like there is some problem with your configuration and snort's parameters are not properly set to make it run in Daemon mode. Thank you Javier
