I also experienced the exact same issues along with the other that I mentioned but nobody has responded on yet. It appears that none of the "config" statements in snort.conf work with this new rc1 such as config: disable_decode_alerts config: disable_ttcp_alerts Solution is: take out the colon config disable_decode_alerts config disable_ttcp_alerts The config: disable_ipopt_alerts does not seem to work with or without the colon -----Original Message----- From: Erek Adams [mailto:erek () snort org] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 9:17 AM To: Kenneth G.

Do the rules for 2.0 rc1 correspond to snortrules-current.tar.gz (Works

HEAD branch of CVS) on the snort site for future updating?
Not quite. rc1 is from CVS HEAD, but -current is generated nightly. rc1 was generated two-three days ago... You may use those rules with no issues, but... Keep in mind the standard 'using bleeding edge CVS you may get cut' rule.
I can understand how the wrong rules would explain the first two situations. Have the rules for writing passes to rules changed in this version? Have the command line options changed for making the passes to be processed before the alerts?
Nope. I don't think that's it. -o still works fine on my test setup. Which is why I think it's something else... From your first email: 3. Once I did get Snort to start, I noticed that a lot of the rules that had pass rules for specific circumstances were starting to fire where they did not in version 1.9.1. I'm going to guess you have pass rules that are using quite a few rule options inside of each pass rule. You may be using options that changed from 1.9.x to 2.0. Maybe some of these rules need some tweaking to be used with 2.0 due to options changing. Would you care to share a sanitized example or two? You may also want to look at the Changelog. Tons of minor changes that aren't listed in the release blurb are sprinkled in there. Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
