Re: problems with PP

[Pratik Narang <pratik.cse.bits () gmail com>]

Sorry for the trouble guys, the problem is resolved- I did not run PP after
making changes to the disablesid file!!
But this throws up another problem- I run Snort on a system which receives
a netflow (or is it IPFIX?) and hence is not connected to the internet. But
whenver PP starts, it tries to connect to the internet to look for new
rules. Any suggestions for a work-around for this? It is not vey neat to
keep plugging the neighboring system's ethernet cable to connect to the
internet and run PP for every single rule I wish to add to
enablesid.conf/disablesid.conf etc. Cant I make PP just do these 'local
tasks' and not let it check for new rules? :)
