Re: Compiling with --enable-sourcefire = ???

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

./configure by itself, turns on:

"--enable-ipv6 --enable-gre --enable-mpls
--enable-targetbased --enable-zlib --enable-active-response
--enable-normalizer --enable-reload --enable-react --enable-flexresp3"

--enable-sourcefire, turns on the other three.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security

sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
