We have the 15 minute delay in place, as there are some people who like to
download the entire ruleset every 5 seconds.

i highly suspect that these are folks with bad cron entries... you'd think
they'd be aware of the problem but obviously

1) they are not OR
2) they do not care OR
3) they are trying to cause problems ie: (d)dos anyone?

I believe it's #1. They don't know the problem exists. I've written a few of
them, and a couple of them have corrected the issue, we have one who
acknowledged the problem and is going to fix it (don't know when),

not trying to be nosy but this is out of how many unique oinkcodes abusing the
services like this?

and some that haven't acknowledged at all.

And some, whose emails just bounced.

i'd bet that if those oinkcodes were disabled they'd wake up... or maybe feed
them a "rules archive" with a file inside that states the problem, that their
registered email address is no longer valid and why the code has been set to
redirect to this non-rules archive ;)

HA! or even a rule or rules that alerts on traffic and has a message that would
point out to them the problem... if they are watching their snort output, that
would definitely get their attention ;) ;) ;)
