Okay, so I see nfq there, but when I run this command: *snort --daq nfq -Q
-c /etc/snort/snort.conf *it still says permission denied.

When I run this: *snort /usr/local/lib/daq -Q -c /etc/snort/snort.conf* it
still says permission denied:
Log directory = /var/log/snort
ERROR: OpenAlertFile() => fopen() alert file /var/log/snort/alert:
Permission denied
Fatal Error, Quitting..

I'm really confused - it seems like everything is in place, but it still
refuses to run.

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I&#39;m trying to run Snort in inline mode (-Q), but I kept running into this \
problem, where it says can&#39;t find nfq DAQ even though I see nfq listed in my \
--daq-list. I&#39;ve tried troubleshooting with every source I found online, but now \
I get a different error.</div> <div><br>
</div>
<div>If I run: <b>snort --daq nfq -Q -c /etc/snort/snort.conf</b></div>
<div>I get:  </div>
<div>
<div>Log directory = /var/log/snort</div>
<div>ERROR: OpenAlertFile() =&gt; fopen() alert file /var/log/snort/alert: Permission \
denied</div> <div>Fatal Error, Quitting..</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I run: <b>snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf</b></div>
<div>I get:</div>
<div>
<div>[ Number of patterns truncated to 20 bytes: 497 ]</div>
<div>ERROR: Active response: can&#39;t open ip!</div>
<div>Fatal Error, Quitting..</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have an IP address and I can ping myself/others and receive pings with no \
issue.</div> <div><br>
</div>
<div>Please advise on what I can do to resolve this, thank you!</div>
