Description

Hello fellow Redmine community members,

I am having an issue with my Snort �Remove blocked host interval changing automatically. I had it set to never to check all my AppID text files and help create suppress lists with the blocked part off for a while. I changed it to block however it only blocks for 5 mins.

Example from researching:
<minute>/20</minute>
<hour></hour>
<mday></mday>
<month></month>
<wday>*</wday>
<who>root</who>
<command></command>/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/expiretable -t 1200 snort2c

I can not find anymore in the config file for snort

all I see that is close is . . .
<minute>*/60</minute>
<hour>*</hour>
<day>*</mday>
<month>*</month>
<wday>*</way>
<who>root</who>
<command>/us/bin/nice -n20 /us/local/sbin/expiretable -v -+ 3600 virusprot

Shouldn't this be snort2c?? It seems like something called virusport took over again this could be clamAV

However no matter something has disabled my block interval from never and set it to 5 mins.

I use to have it set to an hour, however today it seems like its only 3-5 mins and clears and I can't change it.

inside of the compilied expiretable program I found something werid it says Entry deleted in clear text.

: Entry deleted.������%QQQ*QQQQ/QQQQQ�QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ%QQQ*QQQQ/QQQQQ�ÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚ�ÚÚÚÚÚ�����b �����b �����b �����2 �����b �����b �����Û �����b �����¥ �����;¥������$�–���p�Ë���|����à���ƒ�8��|�h��†�Ä��Ã�†��\ �¿��$�¯��‡� ��§�H��L�h��‡�à��†�∞��`�ÿ��

It should not auto change to 5 mins
