== Snort Practical, Week 12 ==
=== Problem 3: Fresh install configuration issues ===
After installing Snort using our package manager, the configuration check fails
because a variable in the file '/etc/snort/snort.conf' appears not to be set to
a valid value.
==== Resolution ====
The header of the so called file describes us the steps to create our
configuration. A 'README.variables' file is advised to be read. However, it is
not present on our machine. To get it, we have to install the package
'snort-doc' (we can use 'apt-get' to achieve that).
We can fix the configuration issue by setting 'HOME_NET' to '127.0.0.1'.
