Are generating too many alerts. I have attempted to
suppress these alerts in my snort.conf file like the
following:
suppress gen_id 122, sig_id 27:
suppress gen_id 122, sig_id 19:
suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 4:

But those alerts are still generating a lot as before.
I do not know why these alerts can not be surppressed?

Did you notice Snort giving errors on startup? Remove the colon, that
might help.

Regards,
Frank
