Re: [Snort-users] snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf fatal error

If he followed the latest documentation it is. But what most likely
happened is that he used the doc off the snort site which is for 2.0.2
and installed 2.1.2 instead and did not look at the updated
documentation. I have a link to it in that document and the updates are
kept on my site.
