The rules in the tarball are about 75, after compiling and stub'ing 'em,

option.

  I've got 71. Can you explain the '22' thing? I'm not getting idea of
your counting...


The unchanged *.rules in the snortrules-snapshot-current tarball:
(i guess these are to be used with the precompiled libraries)

/etc/snort/rules/src/so_rules# cat *.rules | grep -v skeleton | wc -l
75


After the make, witch generates the librariers and stub rule files in
./src, i've only 22 rules in the usable stub files:

/etc/snort/rules/src/so_rules# cat ./src/*.rules | grep -v skeleton | wc -l
22

So, i think can only use a subset of 22 rules out of 75...

  Well then, I can't help much as I use precompiled rules and snort
loads all of them. Except a few (in the range of 3-5), which I
disabled, because of no interest.
