ALT Linux Bugzilla – #6301

snort can not bind to interface other than eth0 -- even if "any" requested.

This patch should be applied to /etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd:

            --expect-user snort -- \
            snort -u snort -g snort \
            -t /var/log/snort \
-           $(eval echo $(echo \$`echo ADDPARAMS_$i`))
+           $(eval echo $(echo \$`echo ADDPARAMS_$i`)) \
+           -i $i
        RETVAL=$?
        if [ $RETVAL != 0 ]; then
            return $RETVAL

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install snort
2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/snort and change INTERFACES=any to INTERFACES=eth1,
   ADDPARAMS_any to ADDPARAMS_eth1
3. issue `service snortd start'
Actual Results:  
snort will bind to eth0 and write its PID to "/var/run//snort_eth0.pid"

Expected Results:  
:-)
