Hi all,

  After configuring my first suricata sensor, I am trying to deploy a 
second suricata sensor to monitor my proxy servers only.

  I am trying to make a "clean" configuration file, but when I try to 
start suricata returns me this error:

[12092] 3/4/2011 -- 20:17:02 - (suricata.c:440) <Info> (main) -- This is 
Suricata version 1.1beta1
[12092] 3/4/2011 -- 20:17:02 - (util-cpu.c:171) <Info> 
(UtilCpuPrintSummary) -- CPUs/cores online: 1
Failed to parse configuration file at line 6: found character that 
cannot start any token

  It is a very cryptic message, almost for me. My suricata config begins 
with:

%YAML 1.1
---


# The default order is pass, drop, reject, alert
action-order:
         - pass
         - drop
         - reject
         - alert

# The default logging directory.
default-log-dir: /nsm/sensor_data/idsmgmt

  Line 6 is the "action-order" param. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks.
