Snort 2.9.3.0 - Some groups of rules missing from snort.conf

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

I noticed doing a diff of the 2.9.2.3 and 2.9.3.0 snort.conf that there are
11 groups of rules omitted from the include statement (see the missing ones
below). Usually all the rule groups listed under Step 7 of the snort.conf
are included in the rule tarball.

I don't have access to the 2930 rule tarball so I'm not sure if those 11
groups have been pulled from the tarball?

include $RULE_PATH/file-office.rules
include $RULE_PATH/file-other.rules
include $RULE_PATH/file-pdf.rules
include $RULE_PATH/indicator-compromise.rules
include $RULE_PATH/indicator-obfuscation.rules
include $RULE_PATH/policy-multimedia.rules
include $RULE_PATH/policy-other.rules
include $RULE_PATH/policy-social.rules
include $RULE_PATH/pua-p2p.rules
include $RULE_PATH/pua-toolbars.rules
include $RULE_PATH/server-mail.rules


Also, is the below a clerical error in the snort.conf, or is that correct?

Snort 2.9.2.3 -> preprocessor ftp_telnet: global inspection_type stateful
encrypted_traffic no check_encrypted

Snort 2.9.3 ---> preprocessor ftp_telnet: global inspection_type stateful
encrypted_traffic no

Kindest regards,
Michael...
