Son of a gun, I'm sorry I wasted your time.
I'm sure I'll be back later, with plenty of n00b-type questions. I think, in the snort.conf file, the "\" symbol at the end of a line is a sort of "no halt on errors" thing.
I was adding that to every line of the config that was giving me problems.
By the way, a great tool to edit these config files is a tool called textpad. You can view line numbers, which makes it very easy to see exacly where the config file is causing problems.
Of course, if you're an experimenting fool, like myself, you'll find yourself in deep trouble, and need to start from scratch.
Until later today (I'm sure of it).
-Cheers! |

Thats a UNIX discreptor telling the script to process the next line. Snort will handle these. You could actually remove all the back slashes but you would need to move the next line up.
Example:
This is a test on /
snort.
If the back slash was removed the line would need to be:
This is a test on snort. |

| I was having the same issue. I went to the link Morpheus provided and the test rules showed alerts on BASE. So I am assuming that means all is good, just there are no alerts to show using the normal rules? |
