Installing snort inline

madadam

Basic Pleskian
Has anyone had any success or can anyone offer advice on installing snort in inline mode on a server running Plesk 8.2 with the firewall module?

From the snort docs:

In order for Snort Inline to work properly, you must download and compile the iptables code to include ``make install-devel'' (http://www.iptables.org). This will install the libipq library that allows Snort Inline to interface with iptables. Also, you must build and install LibNet, which is available from http://www.packetfactory.net.

iptables 1.3.0-2 is installed with Plesk 8.2.1, but is LibNet / snort compatible with the Plesk firewall module? Are there any known issues?
 
The PSA firewall overwrites your firewall options with its own, I would highly recomend not using it if you intend on using programs that manipulate iptables.
