Chris,
FYI, I'm trying to get 2.2.0-RC1 Win32 to function as I speak, and I'm
having problems with the threshold integer issue. But, I've only spent
a few minutes trying to diagnose it and it is entirely possible I have
a typo within the rule. Will post more later if necessary.

Uso,

What version of snort?  What operating system?

Another misleading threshold error like this has already been corrected in
2.2.0-RC1.  Note that the misleading error only occurred when snort was run
on a Windows box.

Subject: [Snort-users] Thresholding problem: ERROR: *** threshold: gen_id /
*** Invalid integer input: 0


I'm testing the thresholding feature and am trying to implement the below
global thresholding to log any event only once every 60 seconds.
the example is from the snort documentation.

#Limit to logging 1 event per 60 seconds per IP triggering each rule for
each event generator:
threshold gen_id 0, sig_id 0, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds
60
However I get the error:

ERROR: *** threshold: gen_id
*** Invalid integer input: 1
Fatal Error, Quitting

appreciate any help

regards
Uso
