[BBLISA] Snare client and 64-bit CentOS 5?

[David Allan]

Check your logs to see if SELinux is objecting to anything.  I often find
that I have to tweak SELinux settings when installing packages from
outside the distro.

If it can be done safely, you might try disabling iptables and selinux to
see if it works, and then adding them back one at a time to see who's the
problem.
