Hi,

For the command line option --alert-before-pass, is it deprecated or not?

It only influence the order in snort_conf->rule_lists. But for PORT_GROUP, such as sc->prmTcpRTNX-> prmSrcPort[i], the 
building algorithm, and the rule matching algorithm in fpEvalHeaderSW(), the order does not take any effect. For the 
event selection logic in fpFinalSelectEvent() and sfeventq_action(), I also don't found any logic for this option.


Regards,
Kurt.
