I can do that.  I'll put it up on snort.org.

However, the snort.conf that is distributed with the registered user release for that version is appropriate to that 
release.

OK Joel - round 2..

I'm documenting the snort install\config - I need the latest snort.conf
long before I get to needing any rules and... 

What if I'm not a subscriber\registered user and don't plan on using the
VRT ruleset any way I can get the latest snort.conf?

Seems an odd place to maintain the snort conf file as it's not rule
specific...  Any chance of you guys providing a the latest snort.conf or
a patch file somewhere other than the ruleset?

Thanks,
Jason

No problem.  It's good for people to have a refresher every 
now and again.

Thanks Joel for the re-enforcing what I already knew...  
I'm going back
through and redocumenting the install (quite a few upgraded 
packages)
and forgot that's where you keep the latest conf file..

Hopefully won't have to ask again..

Please use the snort.conf that comes in the VRT rules 
tarball.  The VRT maintains the snort.conf through the 
lifecycle of the product, whereas the snort.conf in the etc/ 
directory of the tarball is a snapshot of the snort.conf when 
Snort is built for release.

Just downloaded the latest tarball - seesm the 2.9.1.2 
version has a
snort.conf that says it's only compatable with snort 2.9.1.1

Is there a new snort.conf for 2.9.1.2??
