VRT Rule Update for 08/25/2011: Modifications to the snort.conf file

[Joel Esler <joel () sourcefire com>]

All,

A special note about today's rule release.  Please see the blog post below for full details.

The registered users of Snort have emailed me and told me that they will not be able to access the snort.conf for 2.9.1 
until the 30 day window is open.  This is correct, however, for registered users's convenience you may access the 2.9.1 
snort.conf here:
