 SNORT SERVICE
------------------------------

The Debian package version 2.* provided init.d scripts using several
configuration files.
In version 3.*, upstream removed backwards compatibility with Snort 2.
The configuration can now be done ia the environment, command line, a Lua
conﬁguration ﬁle, and a set of rules.

The Kali package provides:
    - snort.service: the configuration file is
      /etc/snort/snort.debian.lua. It can be modified.
    - snort@.service: if you want to run several instances, you must
      create a config file named /etc/snort/snort.debian.$SUFFIX.lua and
      use the service snort@$SUFFIX.service  (replace $SUFFIX with the
      name of your choice)
    - the commande snort: you can use directly the command line snort.

For information about the command line: snort -?
