should not be able to see packet with ttl=0 in the first place.
The only way one can see it is being attacked by an immediate
neighbor.

and in the source spp_frag.c, it's not 100% sure :)

#define FRAG3_MIN_TTL     1     /* min acceptable ttl (should 
be 1?) */

To whom it may concern:

In the snort.conf distributed in the 2.4 snapshot rule set, 
Frag3 has
a minimum ttl description of:

#   min_ttl: Minimum acceptable TTL for a fragment, frags 
with TTLs below this
#            value will be discarded.  Default value is 0.

and the README.frag3 document has this to say:

     min_ttl <value> - Minimum acceptable TTL value for a 
fragment packet.
                       Default is 1.

Perhaps some clarification is in order...

Thanks,
