Description
Snapshot pfSense-2.0-BETA1-20100217-2217
After installing and starting SNORT package, the system log shows:
FATAL ERROR: Group "snort" unknown
cat /etc/password shows
snort:*:1003:2000:SNORT USER:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
but cat /etc/group does not show group 2000.
Workaround:
pw groupadd -n snort -g 2000
and restarting SNORT solves the problem.
I am absolute newbie to pfSense, so I have no clue how to solve this...

It seems that the snort group created with "pw groupadd" does not survive reboot.

This should be fixed in the latest snort package.
