Re: -S and ipvar vs. var

Current Snort manual says all IP variables are to be specified with ipvar, so I would expect that would include 
HOME_NET. I think you want to be using -h as the command line option to pass the value of HOME_NET.

Hey folks,

I've got a need to move HOME_NET to being passed on the command line using -S HOME_NET="blah" and I'm wondering if 
this will internally be treated as a 'var' or 'ipvar' and whether it matters at all. Is there a mechanism to say -S 
'ipvar HOME_NET'='blah'?
