my boot hangs after snort is initialized. The last line shown after

The boot will be hanging because you're not running snort in daemon
mode. Though I'm surprised the "hang" is so early in the boot process,
given that you're running snort from rc.local, which is right at the end
of the boot process. Are you booting with "rhgb quiet" as boot
parameters in grub.conf?
