Not sure but a brutal solution might be to write a pseudo
/etc/init.d/snort script. Something like
#! /bin/sh
#
case "$1" in
start)
;;
stop)
;;
reload)
;;
restart|force-reload)
;;
*)
;;
esac
exit 0
Another way might be to download the package, unpack it in a temporary
place and copy the init script from there.
