Request: New sections in snort-sid-template.txt

["Jon Greaves" <jon_greaves () hotmail com>]

Does anyone know if this request has been progressed at all

It would be nice if all signature descriptions included a rule creation
date, last modification date and rule dependencies.

"Rule creation date"
It is nice to know when (not only why) a rule was created.

"Last modification date"
It is nice to know if the rule have been updated. Bugs in MSIE v4.0 from
1997 might not be that important...

"Rule dependencies"
Do this rule have any dependencies to other rules? Maybe it must be placed
ahead of other rules. If you modify this rule, maybe you should also
think of modifying rules 1234 and 2345 as well... Help like this.


Is this something you'd consider to implement?

Jon
