You'll need to be root to do the following, so enter the command line I've shown inside the quotes, "su -", hit enter, and type in the root password. Try starting the service from the command line, and see if you get more information than the "failed" showing while booting up. e.g. service snort start Look at logs to try and find out more error messages than just "failed". First place to look is usually /var/log/messages. Some programs have their own log files, or directories, inside /var/log, so list the directory and have a look. See if there's a man file, info file, or other documentation for the service installed on your computer. man snort info snort ls /usr/share/doc/snort*/ This is general advice, I don't have specific information about snort. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
