dunno about this... the environment i work in is a very stripped firewall 
distribution... even the development stuff is very stripped with just enough of 
the necessary stuff to build its own tool chain, compile its apps/libs and 
create its installation ISOs... while adding stuff to it is "fairly" trivial, it 
doesn't always work but that depends on what that stuff is...

thanks for the pointer, though... i may come in handy one day...

nonononono... i was speaking of what snort gets compiled with as default when no 
--enable-blah stuff is specified... /that's/ what i consider "default"... having 
to add --enable-blah stuff is customized ;)

yes... but it shows what is passed... not what the base defaults are without 
--enable-blah stuff...

anyway, back to trying to figure out why we now have three snort processes when 
we used to only have one... we're testing these compile time options...

   --enable-gre
   --enable-mpls
   --enable-targetbased
   --enable-decoder-preprocessor-rules
   --enable-ppm
   --enable-perfprofiling
   --enable-zlib
   --enable-reload

previously, there were no --enable-blah options passed... the memory footprint 
usage is also a bit more than we had before but we'll get to that as we move 
thru our testing and digging ;)
