RE: [Snort-users] nubie first attempt to start snort failed

http_decode was no longer supported around version 2.1. I am not sure =
what
all this stuff is on your IDS sensor, but in a typical install I would
suggest upgrading your snort installation to the latest version, =
currently
version 2.4.0.

Cheers,
Jeff
