Summary | 0001651: Snort cannot start if pfdetect is not started | ||||||||||
Description | When we start PacketFence, we create a FIFO (/usr/local/pf/var/alert) in which Snort is writing detected alerts. Snort is trying to open that FIFO in WRITE mode but a FIFO can only be opened in WRITE if a process already opened that FIFO in READ. Currently, PacketFence starts Snort before pfdetect (starting sequence) which cause Snort to hung since the FIFO cannot be opened in WRITE due to the lack of a process opening that FIFO in READ (pfdetect). Startup sequence need to be adapted so that pfdetect is started before Snort. | ||||||||||

Same error when Suricata try to log into the fifo alert. Patch suricata.yaml in section where the alert file is declared to specify filetype = regular view https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/commit/ff90a8c83ba2fa4c2d3bd6204643936443466025 [^] |
