Hello,

  I activate bleeding rules in a computer, and when I add these files to
my  snort.conf:

[+] Added files: [+]

    -> bleeding-inappropriate.rules
    -> bleeding-malware.rules
    -> bleeding-p2p.rules
    -> bleeding-policy.rules
    -> bleeding-sid-msg.map
    -> bleeding-virus.rules
    -> bleeding.rules

  snort not start with this error:

Nov 02 10:23:11 pc snort: FATAL
ERROR: /var/oinkmaster/rules/bleeding-sid-msg.map(1) => Unknown rule
type:  2000002

  what is the problem? If I comment the line with "bleeding-sid-msg.map",
snort runs well.

.map files are not in the snort configuration file syntax. Therefore, don't include them, paste them in, or anything of that sort.

They're for use by external applications (e.g. the mudpit spool processor).

  Thanks and regards,
     rozio

Best Regards,
Alex.
