Try deactivating it and just using http_decode, their functionality overlaps
anyway...

unidecode is the one giving me the most alerts on outbound packets at the

Hm, there's likely no easy way to do this unfortunately.  Some of the
preprocessors take tuning data, which one are you referring to in
particular?

It seems that my snort box is doing a good job of decoding packets with,
for
instance, the unidecode pre-processor.  However, all the alerts are with
sources from my network.  Can I tune that somehow?

In rules, it's clear that one defines variables for the source that do
not
include one's local network.  Can the same be done for the
pre-processors?

I've looked around in confs and docs and I'm not seeing it.

Many thanks,
