Re: New to Snort; Unable to download VRT Certified Rules

[<ladytechieguruness () biznetmail biz>]

Ray and others,

It WAS the "registered users release" I was attempting to download, NOT
the subscribers. BOTH say "VRT Certified" and the "new" rules are new than
what I assume are in the latest release of the Snort program itself. I hope
that's clearer. Thanks.
