oops.  I must have missed it there.

So looking, did you download snort_inline and compile it?  It is not  
included with the snort-xxx.tgz package.  It looks like what is in  
there has a couple of things that allow snort_inline to work, but it  
is not included.  I don't see mention of it except in the docs and  
configure files.  Looking briefly, the docs for it suck ass.  Since  
that cuts into Martin's business (SourceFire), doubt it is well  
supported by "snort.org" directly.
