Redhat/CentOS IDS Snort deployment

[debu]

Hi All,

Warm regards!

Qurying this alongwith snort-list mailing group with lots of hope.

As part of my IDS deployement i was trying out SNORT in both Redhat and CentOS and am stuck right now due to some error.

I installed the following pachages..

base-1.3.9.tar.gz
snort-2.8.0.2.tar.gz
snortrules-snapshot-2.8.tar.gz

Is this ruleset not at par with the SNORT version i am using?

Becasue the error i am getting are basically varible level in the two files, exploit.rules
and bad-traffic.rules

If anybody has any prior exp on this plz share as this would be of great help.
