I am not even getting that far, it fails with the 'Segmentation fault' when
I run
snort_inline with no configuration file but just '-V'.
My steps are:-
1) Download and check MD5 - All checks out Ok
2) gunzip the snort_inline-2.1.3b-mysql.gz file the resulting file size is
3410313
3) chmod the result to add execute capability
4) ./snort_inline-2.1.3b-mysql -V which gives the Segmentation fault.
