Re: Disable sid vs. Suppress

[Dave Venman <dvenman () sourcefire com>]

Rather than suppression, the "noalert" option in the flowbits portion of the
rule can do that for you, i.e. it allows a rule which does detection purely
to set a flowbit state (for example the flowbit client_hello in some of the
ssl rules, which is used later when the SSL session being inspected is more
advanced in its setup ) to *not* generate an event.
